🚴 Bike hire 🚴
Hire from Tarka Trail Cycle Hire in Barnstable for a 6 mile round-trip to Fremington Quay (with cafe and playground) or 12 mile round-trip to Instow Beach and lunch at the Glorious Oyster.
“Cycle from historic Barnstaple along the shores of the Taw & Torridge estuary for 3 miles and you will arrive at Fremington Quay. This picturesque stop offers a welcoming cafe and outdoor play area for the younger cyclists.
“Fremington Quay was once the port for unloading ball clay, where you can see a lime kiln and if you are lucky a rare kingfisher. Onto Isly Marsh, now a RSPB reserve and pass the site of a former power station at Yelland.
“Instow with its sandy beach is an ideal place to while away a few hours having a leisurely lunch in one of the many pubs and restaurants. The trail crosses the road at the southern end of the Instow promenade.”
