Valiant Star
This boat is moored up on the eastern bank of the River Torridge in Devon between Bideford and Instow on Sunday 24th March 2019. The viewpoint is on the Tarka Trail, a cycle path that stretches from Braunton in the north to Meeth in the south, and re-uses the track bed of former railways for most of its length.
Once upon a time, the Atlantic Coast Express travelled over the line just here, carrying passengers to Bude, Padstow and other far-flung destinations, many miles from London Waterloo where the train started its journey. The buildings visible on the opposite bank belong to the former shipbuilding yard at Appledore.
