Perhaps I am the last person to realise this, but it was news to me that the Tarka Trail now had a new bit from Hatherleigh towards Highhampton. Anyway, I decided to check it out this morning, so here are a few photos.
Runnion Lane (the one after Moorview on the way to Holsworthy) leads you to the Tarka Trail.
This is the gated entrance to the Trail. No signs (perhaps it's a secret!)
It's Tarmac all the way, so great for wet days & perfect for bikes too.
This bit will be very pretty when the leaves fill the trees. A small ditch full of muddy water runs alongside the path. Floss thought this was heaven!
At the end of the trails (which will eventually take you to Bideford) you come to Church Lane, which is a back road to Highhampton. It's a nice easy walk that takes about an hour there & back.
