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.

This information has been produced by the Dartmoor National Park Authority in conjunction with Dartmoor For All, and is designed to help and encourage those who are disabled, less mobile or have young children, to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside in the Dartmoor area. This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice. Common land and other areas of 'access land' are marked on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure 28.

  • Construction of a Trail, Buttercombe Barton to Spreacombe Bridge, West
    PTE/18/4 Development Management Committee 24 January 2018 County Council Development North Devon District: Construction of a trail, Buttercombe Barton to Spreacombe Bridge, West Down, Ilfracombe Applicant: Devon County Council Application No: 61086 Date application received by Devon County Council: 20 April 2016 Report of the Chief Planner Please note that the following recommendation is subject to consideration and determination by the Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that planning permission is granted subject to the conditions set out in Appendix I of this report (with any subsequent changes to the conditions being agreed in consultation with the Chair and Local Member). 1. Summary 1.1 This report relates to a planning application for the construction of an off-road trail between Buttercombe Barton and Spreacombe Bridge, located between Ilfracombe and Braunton. 1.2 It is considered that the main material planning considerations in the determination of this application are the impacts of the development on the amenity of adjoining neighbours; impacts on nature conservation interests; highway safety matters; and the benefits of the proposal in terms of economy and sustainability. 2. The Proposal/Background 2.1 The application site extends approximately 3km from Buttercombe Barton, which is 5km south of Ilfracombe, to Spreacombe Bridge, 3km north of Braunton, and seeks to connect to previously consented developments that will link Buttercombe Lane to Willingcott and Spreacombe Bridge to Knowle. This proposal will provide the final off-road connection to connect Ilfracombe with the wider strategic cycle route, the Tarka Trail, which extends through to Braunton, Barnstaple and Bideford.
