The old Barnstaple to Bideford Railway Line is now a cycle/foot path making up part of the SW Coast Path.
The path runs over the old track bed and there are still a few reminders of the railway like this old lamp post apparently illuminating a bush but almost certainly once used to illuminate a siding for a coal powered electricity generating station at Yelland on the River Taw.
More recently the path was used to film a programme in the series James May's Toy Stories where a model railway was laid along the path.
