    Cycling

    Constructed from iron, the Meldon Viaduct was built in 1874 to carry rail passengeacross the West Okement River. The viaduct was in operation until the 1990s.

    Today, the viaduct forms part of the Granite Way, a long-distance cycle path in Dartmoor. It's well-surfaced so perfect for families and children. There are no hills either! The Viaduct is one of only two such railway bridges still surviving in the UK.

    A new cyclist repair shop, cafe and retail shop called PUMP & PEDAL is due to open approximately 1 mile from the viaduct in the direction of Okehampton just off the Granite Way Trail. Anticipated opening is October 2019.
