Meeth Quarry Nature Reserve

Highlight • Trail

Keep an eye out for goosanders and great crested grebes when you visit the flooded Meeth Quarry nature reserve.

The reserve is crossed by the Tarka Trail, which makes getting there by bike easy, although there is also car parking available.

Make sure to seek out the bird hides and look for the Exmoor ponies that graze here.

Check out more information about the nature reserve here: devonwildlifetrust.org/nature-reserves/meeth-quarry

Petrockstow Station Platform

Highlight • Trail

Today, all that remains of Petrockstow station is a platform. It was originally built to serve the clay pits and quarries in the area, it then went on to be used as part of the local Light Railway. Its use as a railway station ended with the Beeching Cuts but it lives on as part of the Tarka Trail – a long-distance foot and cycle path.
