The Tarka Line, from Exeter to Barnstaple, passes through some beautiful Devonian scenery. Excellent walks start from all the rural stops in between, and the 'Tarka Line Walks' booklet details 22 routes. Order a copy from

This route, between the villages of Yeoford and Copplestone, passes through the mid-Devon redlands that are typical of the region. It's classic countryside walking and a great start to exploring the Tarka Line. Note that they are both request stops, so let the conductor know.

The Devonshire Dumpling is AT Morchard Road ( a Hamlet), about three miles from Copplstone towards Lapford! You can catch a train from Copplestone and get off at the next station....Morchard Road or take the bus. Otherwise the walk there would be along the main Copplestone -Barnstaple A377.There maybe other more circuitous routes by foot but none direct.
