These mosaic sculptures are situated beside the Tarka trail bike track. There are several animal/bird mosaic sculptures along the trail depicting characters from the "Tarka the Otter" book.
The Tarka Trail is over 180 miles in length following mostly old railway lines; the route goes through North and Mid Devon, from the Atlantic Coast, along the estuaries of the two rivers of Tarka the otter fame, the Rivers Taw and Torridge through rural Devon Countryside onto the northern slopes of Dartmoor, and the source of the River Taw.
Tarka the Otter: A story of his joyful water-life and death in the county of the two rivers is a novel by Henry Williamson published in 1927. The book tells the story of the experience of an otter.
