Day 1 (morning) of our Coast to Coast.
Leaving early from Ilfracombe harbour, we will head up and out of the town (bit of a steep climb!) where we will meet an off-road trail heading inland. After a few miles we will meet up with some quiet, rural roads as we head down towards Braunton, with steady ups and downs along the way. In Braunton we will find the Tarka Trail - an old railway line that is traffic-free and flat which continues for 20 miles along the beautiful Devon coast before following the River Torridge inland. The trail then climbs very gently up to the Yarde Orchard cafe where we are planning on stopping for lunch.
