Sports

Cycling

The Tarka Trail runs over 30 miles from Braunton to Meeth following the path of the old railway line. Cycling is fairly gentle and bikes can be hired from Braunton, Barnstaple and elsewhere if you don’t have your own. The Salt House has plenty of storage for bikes if you do want to bring your own with a cycle rack for six bikes inside.

The rugged coastline of North Devon also offers lots of opportunities for mountain biking and more challenging cycling.

Quad Biking

Horse Riding
