A local institution! This traditional family run fish & chip restaurant is serving simple dishes really well. Homemade mushy peas, tartare sauce and other sides make it a step above the rest. Judging by the queues everyone agrees!

Take your picnic blanket and bottle and grab an authentic Sri Lankan curry from the beach hut on the beach. Very popular with locals so get there before 6pm, when it's gone it's gone!

The Tarka Trail
Inspired by the route travelled by Tarka the Otter, this 180 mile, figure eight route traverses unspoiled countryside, dramatic sea cliffs and beautiful beaches. The southern loop incorporates the longest, continuous off-road cycle path in the UK. Walking or cycling, you can experience the best this beautiful area has to offer.
Starting from Braunton, I have made some recommendations for you so you can plan your day and get the most out of the trial.
Otter Cycle Hire
Start the Tarka Trial in Braunton and head to Velator, the start of the traffic free section. A small detour will take you to the new quay. Our children like to jump off this a high tide!

Sitting on the trial with lovely views across the estuary, this is a great refuelling stop. Park up your bikes for local ice cream, gorgeous cakes and great coffee.
