Devon CC says all these tracks are unsuitable for vehicles (see photo}. Seems they forgot that bikes are vehicles. It's muddy and puddley after it's been raining. you might have to push your vehicle occasionally, but as long as it's not a Ford Capri, you should be ok. it's easier southwards where you have gravity on your side.

Nice church, friendly pub (only open in the evenings) and a few oddities (see my pictures)... Cornworthy put a smile on our faces!

You don't always get through the forest with dry feet, so appropriate footwear helps. Otherwise, it's a very idyllic, varied section. Sometimes you come right to the river!

Very picturesque little village in the Dart Valley. One road leads in, one out. Parking was easy at the pub, outside of peak season. If you cross the bridge in the middle of the village, a small hiking trail branches off that leads along the river bank - very beautiful!

It is open exactly when the pub 500m away in Tuckenhay is open - the same goes for the kitchen. Both pubs and their menus are very similar.

Unfortunately, it's more of an expensive restaurant than a village pub. There's nothing to eat between breakfast, lunch and dinner. Large parking lot and an even larger beer garden.
