We’re in this small village in north Devon because it is on the Tarka Trail, a mostly off-road cycle and walking track, which follows mainly the course of a pre-1960s GWR steam railway. We last walked part of it with Lucy the dog in 2017: https://martinsmag.com/2017/05/11/tarka-trail-part-two/

We stayed on a busy farm, The Barton, with horses, ponies, goats and dairy cows, which all added to the general gaiety, if not the smell, of the place.
