North Devon Council is asking visitors travelling by vehicle to the BMX Pump Track, near Braunton, to be considerate of residents when parking and moving their vehicles.
Users of the facility who transport their bikes by car or van and unload on arrival, but have been unable to park onsite, have been causing some issues for nearby residents.
The track was designed with only a small amount of onsite parking, due to restrictions on the site and in light of its close proximity to the Tarka Trail.
Addisford stands in the heart of
Tarka the Otter country at Dolton, near Winkleigh in north Devon. This enchanting, Grade II-listed property is for sale through Knight Frank at a guide price of £1.75m.
Described by Historic England as ‘an unusual example of a modest cottage that has survived in a very unaltered state with only sympathetic 20th-century additions having been made’, Addisford dates from the late 17th or early 18th century.
Renovated by photographer James Ravilious (the son of the landscape painter, designer and war artist Eric Ravilious) and his wife, Robin, in the early 1970s and again in the early 1990s, the cottage, built of pale pink-painted render under a thatched roof, has been further enlarged by its current owners, with the addition of a two-storey extension designed by Devon architect David Treadaway.
