Codden Beacon is well-placed to provide amazing views south towards Dartmoor, northeast towards Exmoor and northwest across Barnstable Bay towards Lundy Island. The hill itself is one of a series of rounded hills caused by tectonic movement. There is a Bronze Age bowl barrow to the east.

South Molton is a market town centred round a market square. It was a major part of the UK's wool trade and markets still thrive twice a week, although no longer just the domain of wool. There are plenty of cafes in South Molton for mid-ride nourishment

A Grade II-listed church, St Michael's is tucked in the hamlet of East Buckland. The tower likely dates back to the 15th century with the rest of the church rebuilt later. The churchyard is classically higgledy-piggledy and there are old thatched cottages around the edges.

Beautiful at night and sunset, fantastic point to run walk or bike too if you like a bit of the off-road stuff. Interestingly its also built on the site of a Cold War bunker that was destroyed prior to the monument to JTs wife being built.
