The old Barnstaple to Bideford Railway Line is now a cycle/foot path making up part of the SW Coast Path.
There are still some reminders of the railway such as this arched bridge near Bideford.
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.

Clovelly: Bob Scott took this picture of where you could see the old fishing quay that can be traced to its origins back to the 14th century as do many of the cottages and buildings in Clovelly.

In common with much of this coastline smuggling and shipwrecks were common place in the old days
