Tarka Trail

by: Peter Craske
This guidebook provides 60 splendid walks in mid-Devon with distances from 2 to 8.5 miles. All the routes start and finish from a Tarka Line railway station. Explore more than 325 miles of tranquil footpaths and quiet lanes through Redland country between Exeter and Barstaple, easily accessible from the wayside stations of the scenic Tarka Line. Each of the walks in this full colour guide has clear route directions and OS Explorer map extracts with the route highlighted. In addition there is expert insight into the villages, local lore and transportation changes that have taken place over the past two centuries in glorious Devon's peaceful heartland. Most of the walks are circular, starting and finishing at the same station, but some take the walker between stations.

Each station has several walks and the stations are: Exeter, Newton St Cyres, Crediton, Yeoford, Copplestone, Morchard Road, Lapford, Eggesford, King's Nympton, Portsmouth Arms, Umberleigh, Chapelton and Barnstaple.
