Cycle Path Bridge in Dartmoor National Park

Highlight • Bridge

another opportunity to remember why you are on the cycle path

Tip by

2.29 km

A fantastic traffic-free link trail from Moretonhampstead to Lustleigh following a former railway line. Just like a bridleway, the trail is for use by walkers, horse riders and cyclists.

The trail is well surfaced, mainly with light gravel but is paved in a few places. There are a few new bridges that have been built to facilitate this trail, and an audio guide that you can listen along to (see the signposts or visit dartmoor.gov.uk/wildlife-and-heritage/dartmoor-story/dartmoor-story-pages/places/wray-valley for more information).

Wray Valley Trail

Highlight • Trail

Wide and relatively smooth gravel cycle path keeping you away from the main road.

Great way to link up Moretonhampstead to Bovey Tracey and Newton Abbot.

There's one hillier road section in the middle as you ride through the village of Lustleigh.

Cafe 3 Sixty

Highlight • Cafe

Having spent the best part of the last 100 years as a garage and workshop, the owners of Cafe 3 Sixty have transformed the building into a wonderful spot for hungry cyclists and passersby yet retained much of its history in the renovation.

An independent cafe, you’ll find a heavy bike theme here and you can even park your two-wheeled steed inside. Outside seating allows for dogs although they’re not permitted indoors due to the open kitchen.

Islington Manor Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

lsington manor is recorded in the doomsday book of 1086 and was one of six mediaeval manors in the parish in the 13th century. it was held from the Beaumonts earls of Devon by their tenants. the Dynim's records show the Dynem's were benefactors of St. Michael's church and founders of a chantry in the north concept of the church. the blocked up doorway of the transcept laid out to the manor garden when the last lord Dynham died in 1501 here.
John Ford and Emily bought two of these three parts and his son George a further one. It is George who is thought to have rebuilt the house into its characteristic Elizabeth and e-shaped style. one of George's sons was John Ford, a well-known dramatist by the 17th century. during the ownership of sir Henry ford MP for Tiverton, his estate was again fragmented. Records show that by 1829 a manor house was in two ownerships. The central range of the building had disappeared and the two wings were little more than cottages. By the mid-19th century. these were being used for agricultural storage in 1852. description of the manor describes it as "the remains of a mouldering mansion went fast and venerable which form a very pleasing object from the precinct of the church, the tourists and ponder on the dim prestige of the Harris million and bracketed and bayed all over. they're all that there left is a miscuit and phantom of the past"
In 1871. part of the site was sold to the vicar and churchwardens of Islington to provide plans for the current school. Many of the original dress stones from the manor house can be seen around the village where they're being reused in buildings and walls.

Haytor Vale Climb

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Haytor Vale climb heads from Bovey Tracey up to Dartmoor but of course can also be descended the other way.

It is sheltered down in Bovey Tracey but you can except the wind to pick up once you reach Dartmoor. It's long, at 3.6 miles and an average of 6%.

The Tour of Britain has finished at Haytor Vale, most recently in 2013 when the stage was won by Adam Yates. In 1979 the National Hill Climb Champs were held there and if you fancy your own go, Mid Devon Cycling Club hold an annual hill climb race here.
