Wonderfull just under 10miles around the reservoir, can get very wet and muddy in places, also there is a small section that takes you onto a stretch of road coming into a village, its a single track road and traffic is minimal, once in the village you end up riding on a main road for a short period before joining the trail. There is a bike path that can be used.
