This disused railway line has been transformed into a spectacular walkway and rough cycle track that winds through deciduous woodland and past high moorland Tors. There are marvellous views of Burrator Lake and the Walkham Valley and the track passes the quarries of Sweltor and Foggintor, once famous for the granite used on many London buildings, including London Bridge.

Challenging to cycle
We included this section as part of a longer cycle and probably regretted it. Not the best surface for hybrid bikes although they coped better than us. Quite a “bone shaker” surface coupled with a head wind made progress arduous and maybe would have been better to walk.
