Ride along the old railway route leading to Princetown. This segment is perfect for any age or level of rider as it's a very gradual incline and the views from the moor overlooking Tavistock are fantastic.
Along the route you'll find leftover structures from yesteryear, as well as some more recent. I didn't ride the route back down to Burrator Reservoir however I can imagine it's a nice easy roll back down.

Bikes with good tyres. Trail surface is very rough and sharp.

One of the best gravel tracks ever! Make sure to have wide tires (>40mm) and ride on low pressure - your gravel bike and you won't forget this track. Come down from Princetown for the most fun!
