For those who prefer to stay on land, North Devon also makes an ideal location for both walking and cycling. For those on foot, there are remarkable coastal paths to enjoy, while Exmoor National Park is just 30 minutes from the Beach Bay Cottage and offers a variety of routes for both experienced walkers or those who simply prefer a short stroll. For cyclists, the Tarka Trail forms part of the Devon Coast to Coast Cycle Route and is one of the country’s longest traffic free walking and cycling paths and offers riders excellent coastal views.
