  • Welcome! News
    1 Combe Rail members' magazine Issue #1 - Spring 2016 (Combe Rail - Charitable Incorporated Organization 1164083) WELCOME! A warm welcome to all new members of Combe Rail! As of 4th April 2016, membership stands at 88, with new supporters joining each week. This is a remarkable achievement for the four months we've been in operation, and testifies to the great affection in which the Ilfracombe-Barnstaple railway is still held. Combe Rail was set up to "preserve the heritage" of this railway, and we already have several exciting plans in place (see below.) This newsletter, The Devon Belle, will also play its part in preserving the line's heritage, by collecting and publishing YOUR articles, histories, memories and photographs. Two recent Facebook groups Railway to Ilfracombe…in Pictures and Reversing Beeching - The Ilfracombe Line have produced a treasure-trove of photos and recollections - but as is often the way with Facebook, many photos are uncredited, and interesting information can be spread across separate threads. The Devon Belle will be the first regular (quarterly) periodical about the line, and all articles will be indexed, to create an ever-growing reference work. If you have memories to share, photos, or even an article for publication, send them to us at [email protected] NEWS GIFT AID PLEA If you are a UK income tax payer, we can reclaim 25% of your annual membership subscription from HMRC. If you have not already made a Gift Aid declaration (and this will apply to the great majority of members who paid via PayPal) you can download a form here.

Our first walk was around the Exeter Green Circle and we will do it again in the Charity Event on May 5 th in aid of Exeter Hospice.

  • Dartmoor Way Summary
    THE DARTMOOR WAY PROJECT The project is managed by a Steering Group representing the statutory bodies DNPA and DCC together with business members. A Community Interest Company – the Dartmoor Way CIC has been established to take responsibility for finance and ongoing maintenance. The project aims to create a Way Marked walking route around the perimeter of Dartmoor, see below for an indicative map. The aim is to make the route much more accessible to the public who will be able to use the route without being proficient in map reading. A necessary element is good marketing of the new facility. This will be achieved by developing the existing Cycle Route web site and the use of a good public relations to support the launch and ongoing marketing. A volunteer team will deliver ongoing maintenance of the signing and the marketing. The planned outputs are believed to be the absolute minimum achievable. The project will deliver income to suppliers and businesses along the route not directly to the Dartmoor Way CIC. The absolute minimum target for additional income is £58,000. This is expected to create additional employment of 4.5 FTE. We are about to revise the original feasibility study to develop more accurate estimate of income. The Dartmoor Way Walking Route is Phase 3 of a multi-phase project. A Feasibility Study and the Cycle Route, have been delivered successfully by the Steering Group under EU funding rules. A similar approach will be used for this phase of the project. The project aims to increase tourist activity around the perimeter of Dartmoor.
