    Tips

    Steep and technical: tight, rocky, loose and often wet. A truly awesome MTB descent.

    It's highly recommended to link this with the other Lustleigh trails for a shortish route. You could also add in with further east Dartmoor trails over towards Hound Tor and Bowerman's Nose for a longer ride.

    From the Kestor Inn (Water/Manaton) ride down the hill, then immediately left. Shortly you'll turn left again, and then in a while find the bridleway. Now begins the decent (and Highlight). Go straight at the crossroads then a sharp left at the junction a little while later (which often looks like a stream). After that just follow the track down to the bridge over the River Bovey.

      Wet, rocky and very technical descent. Stay right at the trail split get to the very old bridge at the end.
