The Tarka Railway Line, North Devon, UK
Experience the beauty of the Devonshire countryside by taking the famous Tarka Line train from Umberleigh, a village just 8 miles from Torrington, on a 33 mile trip to the Cathedral City of Exeter.
I defy anyone to take this trip and not enjoy the experience of moving through astonishingly green hills and meadows crisscrossed by rivers and filled with both wildlife and farmed creatures.
Although I often make the trip for practical reasons but I always find the experience uplifting and soothing.
It's a rare pleasure for both adults and children.
