Far too heavy for 13% climbs but got up somehow to Meeth and the start of the #TarkaTrail. Lovely trail so far but typically part is shut later. Bet the diversion has chevron climbs!

DayCycle – Tarka Trail Tarka Trail cycle route overall rating: (Colour explanation: blue = good, yellow indicates some warning, and red indicates issues to be aware of) The Tarka Trail in North Devon follows a disused railway that once linked Barnstaple to Hatherleigh, and onwards. It’s a very well-known traffic-free route, set in a stunning natural environment. The trail is flat all the way from Braunton to Great Torrington, then a gradual uphill almost to the delightful Yarde Orchard. It also forms part of […]

Updated my #TarkaTrail route guide with the video of the route, so go have a look.
The Tarka Trail is a far better route than the Camel Trail, and if you've not cycled it, you're losing out! #Cycling #NorthDevon #WillCycle

The aqueduct for the Rolle or Torridge Canal at Beam House, photographed from the Tarka Trail cycleway - itself the old railway line from Bideford to Great Torrington. This unique canal, completed in 1827, had a sea lock and inclined plane. In 1871 the canal was closed and much of the land used to build the railway, which closed in 1965 with the Beeching cuts.

Rolle Aqueduct drawn in the 1830s. See https://www.rollecanalsociety.org/beam-aqueduct.html Notice the sharp bend that canal barges had to turn.

Beam #Aqueduct photographed from the #TarkaTrail near #Torrington, #Devon. The aqueduct is famous for featuring as 'canal bridge' in Henry Williamson's 'Tarka the Otter'. Otters can still be seen in the #Torridge. Today the aqueduct is a roadway for #BeamHouse #photography #landscapephotography
