Whether you are an experienced visitor to this beautiful locality or you are fortunate enough to be setting out to discover it for the first time, you have chosen a location that many believe to be the finest in Britain. Tarka Holiday Park 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. Access to the Trail is only minutes from the Tarka Holiday Park. 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 the 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 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 is the Great Field of Braunton Marsh - a site of historical importance close to the unique Braunton Burrows. The Burrows occupy 6 kilometres of 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.
