The Tarka Line
The Tarka Line runs for 39 miles between Exeter and Barnstaple stopping at different stations along the way, and forms part of the 180-mile 'Tarka Trail,' the locations featuring in Henry Williamson's classic novel, 'Tarka the Otter.'
Why not purchase a Tarka Line Ranger ticket, which gives you the ability to roam the area at will, travelling as often as you like on the trains and offering unlimited travel for one day.
At the various rural stops you can stroll around the towns and villages and explore, or you may like to try a hike or cycle ride along part of the route.
