Tarka Trail - Exmoor
11 people attending
9 places left
Follow in the footsteps of Tarka the Otter (the furry aquatic animal, not a guy from the Bear Pit in Bristol!) around the Northern Exmoor Coast.
We'll start in the picturesque Valley of the Rocks - inspiration for Wordsworth, Coleridge and many other Romantic Poets.
We'll then head inland towards Cherrybridge and Barbrook to cross the West Lyn River and then follow that around to the Tarka trail itself on the East Lyn. Then, after crossing the East Lyn at Watersmeet, we'll head for the coast to pickup the South West Coast Path back to Lynmouth.
In Lynmouth, we might cheat a bit and catch the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway from the harbour to the cliff top, (or we could walk up to the top of the cliff) before continuing to follow the Coast Path back to the Valley of the Rocks.
Food & drink
Please bring your usual packed lunch, and water will be essential.
We'll be walking through Lynmouth and Lynton mid-afternoon so there will be a chance to stock up again there, but we'll stop for lunch before we get there - so you'll need to bring your lunch with you.
