We are a informal - social and friendly club with a mixture of riding abilities with the aim of discovering the lanes and byways ( avoiding main roads ) of Devon & Cornwall + the hidden cafes & farm shops for tea/coffee and cake. Meeting every Sunday morning weather permitting from different locations, we publish a list of planned rides with the leaders on the website. The idea is to ride at a steady pace with regards to the slowest rider in the group ( no racing ) and enjoy the beautiful countryside of Devon & Cornwall with the odd coffee & cake stops, also the occasional pub stop. All are welcome to join us we ride on a mixture of bikes, Hybrids-Road bikes-Touring -E Bikes, all we ask is after 3 rides if you like our club, is to join "Cycling UK". This has its benefits of insurance, cycling magazine and website with help and advice.

Rothamsted Research is a world-leading, non-profit research centre that focuses on strategic agricultural science to the benefit of farmers and society worldwide.
The North Wyke Farm Platform is a unique national and global research facility that is linked to real-world farming.
In order to feed the growing global population without damaging our planet’s environment, the world needs innovative solutions to unlock the potential of agricultural systems. Supported by UK Research and Innovation, the North Wyke Farm Platform ‘farm lab’ is a large-scale research facility to study the complete flow of nutrients from soil to food, with the clear and distinct aim of making farming a more sustainable endeavour.
The platform is composed of four self-contained farms, each of which is managed under a different operational philosophy. This internationally unique design allows research outputs to be immediately relevant to real-world food producers, and also makes the facility an excellent venue for knowledge exchange events.
Our facility is used by national and international collaborators from a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines, with a particularly strong capability to accommodate studies on pasture-based livestock production systems and optimal land use. We are a founding member of the Global Farm Platform Network, and have recently been recognised by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation as an exemplar research facility.

'The Square Shop’ in Northlew, a Community Interest Company helps provide the village with food and general supplies and also cut down the necessity to travel to supermarkets and town outlets. It is exceptionally well stocked, mainly because the majority of their products are sourced locally and are without restriction. They always aim to stock local milk, cheese, vegetables, bread and eggs, along with staple cupboard items and, of course, lots of chocolate and sweets. There is an open air market set up in front of the Green Dragon Pub every Friday (weather permitting). Deliveries will be available within the village to assist the elderly and residents with impaired mobility.

Provide Devon is a christian charity providing food and other essentials to local people at crisis point. Using a combination of fresh produce and donated food from retailers, businesses and the local community, a food parcel can be provided to referral agents within hours. We provide a rapid response, as often the people we are feeding will have been experiencing food insecurity for some time. Requests for support may be due to finances, mental health conditions, crime or violence, bereavement or a sudden change to circumstances. Our aim is to give individuals, the majority of which are children and young people, immediate relief from hunger when they have no other options available.

The village community is settled around the historic church of St John the Baptist. The church goes as far back as the C12th with it’s architectural fame resting on its Victorian restoration in 1874, in the gothic style, by the architect Sir George Gilbert Scott. Scott was invited to remodel the local parish church whilst doing work on Exeter Cathedral at the request of the Rector, John Wollocombe.

From towering granite tors to breathtaking rivers, Devon's is an ancient landscape that has drawn and inspired our ancestors. The ancient idea of pilgrimage is as much about the personal inner journey as the destination. Devon Pilgrim follows this living tradition.
We invite you to walk these pilgrim routes, some ancient, some new, which connect tors, stone crosses, holy wells and tiny churches, standing stones and cathedral.
Re-root yourself in Devon's landscape and the spiritual traditions which run like a thread through it. Whatever your journey, we invite you to wander with us.

Good Roots Barn, was born one day after spending many hours trawling the internet trying to purchase bird food that did not come in plastic! I have been practising a plastic free lifestyle for many years now and it seemed only natural to convey this into the place I love most, my garden. So the adventure begins! It is my aim to offer alternatives to plastic in an industry dominated by it, but also to educate via our blog and social media. So let’s provide some demand within the industry for plastic free gardening supplies, as the consumer you hold all the power to encourage change, happy shopping.
