Lynton and Barnstaple Railway
The proposed trip to the L&B is now being arranged for Wednesday 2 July. Once again we will be travelling from Templecombe. Connections at Exeter are not ideal but there is nothing to be gained by starting from Castle Cary. The 9:14 from Templecombe is due at Exeter St Davids at 10:33. There is time to visit the refreshment room before boarding the 1:19 to Barnstaple arriving at 12:20.
