There are a few places where you can step away from emails and meetings and, within minutes, find yourself immersed in nature.
North Devon offers exactly that - and nowhere captures it better than the iconic Tarka Trail, just moments from Saunton Sands Hotel. Recently highlighted by Travelling for Business as one of the UK's most rewarding "bilesiure" experiences, this scenic route perfectly blends productivity with relaxation.
Stretching across North Devon, the Tarka Trail follows peaceful estuaries, open countryside and quiet woodland paths that are inspired by the novel Tarka the Otter. It's most serene stretch - Braunton to Meeth - offers over 30 miles of flat, traffic-free route along a former railway line.
