Fabulous cafe serving great quality food. Had a top quality cream tea here on a very hot day.

Dalwood Lane Bridleway and Packhorse Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

I won't try and bluff: this is a tricky climb, and for most will likely be a push! The bridleway starts at the River Yarty by the quaint packhorse bridge and rises steeply up the valley side, with some rocky double track to contend with too.

It can get pretty wet after rainfall, which exacerbates the challenge! You'll breathe a sigh of relief when you reach the house at the top and rejoin tarmac, although looking back across the valley and the green fields of cows is pretty rewarding for the mega effort.

Beckford Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

A wonderful packhorse bridge, Beckford Bridge spans the River Yarty in the Blackdown Hills AONB to the north west of Axminster. Made from local rubble stone, this Grade II-listed span is in remarkably good condition, thanks to a modern bridge taking traffic. You can walk over the old bridge although it's best admired from the new one.

The bridge is currently under reconstruction, although you can still take the gorgeous old packhorse bridge by bike or foot.
