Tarka Holiday Park Property Description

Tarka Holiday Park in North Devon is situated in the centre of this magnificent location, close to the centre of the unique 180 mile figure of eight walkway and cycle path, the Williamson inspired Tarka Trail in North Devon.

Access to the Trail is only minutes from the Tarka Holiday Park in North Devon. Without the need of a car, or even the worry of meeting one, the trail offers our visitors the opportunity to explore and discover the meandering river ways of North Devon namely Taw and the Torridge. By bicycle or on foot you can travel through rolling farmland and wild moorland, close to the rugged coastline and sandy bays.

West from Tarka Holiday Park in North Devon the trail takes you along the banks of the Taw to the Biosphere Reserve. This special place is now designated as an International Reserve by UNESCO and dependant upon the season it is an excellent location to view the migratory birds. Further along by the River Torridge is the seaside village of Instow, with its traditional pubs, finally reaching the port of Bideford.

To the Northwest of the Holiday Park in North Devon is the Great Field of Braunton Marsh - a site of historical importance close to the unique Braunton Burrows. The Burrows occupy 6 kilometres of North Devon coastline and provides the backdrop to some of the country''s finest beaches. Saunton, Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe offer uncrowded sand and sea, even in the peak of summer. Sit and enjoy a cream tea or a 'shandy' at sunset.
