Bishops Tawton is a picturesque village, based in a rural setting nestled under the protection of nearby Codden Hill on one side, and the beautiful Taw valley, and tidal river on the other. The famous Tarka Trail walking route traverses Codden Hill, through the village and down into Barnstaple, where you can cycle or walk to explore the Taw Estuary and beyond .
The thatched Chichester Arms pub is only a 10 minute stroll downhill from Bashers or a few minutes by car, and is well worth the visit. The walk back up, however, is quite steep.

Bashers Rest is ideally situated in Bishops Tawton, just off the A377 which is the scenic route into and out of North Devon. We are easily accessible by car and on the main bus route (there is a bus stop approximately 200 yards from the front door). We are just over two miles from Barnstaple town centre where you will find ample parking facilities (cash or RingGo app)
The nearest train station is in Barnstaple with hourly trains running to Exeter, where you can visit the beautiful cathedral and enjoy the many diverse restaurants or access travel links to the rest of the country.
The Tarka trail can be accessed in two places, half a mile from Bashers Rest, and we are perfectly situated for walkers wishing to access the South West Coast Path from Lynton to Hartland Point. As well as easy access to all of North Devon Coast's beaches, we are also within easy reach of Exmoor and Dartmoor.
We are also very lucky to have Codden Hill which provides an excellent view of the surrounding landscape. Rising over 190 metres, there are views of both Dartmoor, to the south, and Exmoor to the north on a clear day. There are a number of footpaths that give access to the site and Codden Hill is just a short walk away from your front door.
A more leisurely walk will lead you past the church and out onto the banks of the river Taw. This is the route we normally take with our dog, Wilfred, who loves to get his paws wet. Please note it is a tidal river so please check the tidal times.
We are a short drive from the beautiful North Devon coast making a day out at the beach easy. Woolacombe and Croyde are approximately 20-30 minutes drive in one direction, depending on the time of year, and Instow and Westward Ho are 15 - 20 minutes in the other, but we are happy to share our local road knowledge to help you avoid the summer traffic.
There are several excellent golf courses nearby including Portmore which offers both 18 and par three courses, plus a state of the art floodlit TOPTRACER driving range. The club house offers a varied food menu with seating enjoying panoramic views of the estuary and Lundy island on sunny days.
