ハルウェル・アンド・モアリーでののおすすめグラベルライド

Cake to die for - a must stop on a ride.

It's a café, it's a bar, it's a pub.

This traffic-free road is a really scenic way to get up onto the moors from Shipley Bridge near South Brent. It's technically a bridleway, through the vehicle-wide paved road makes for an easy, gentle climb. Look out though, as the uneven road is starting to crumble in some place. It's a really beautiful pedal as you ride alongside the gushing waterfalls of the River Avon and between bracken, crossing the water a few times as you head up towards the Avon Dam and reservoir.

The Avon Dam was built in 1957 to supply water to the coastal towns of South Devon. You can ride up the access road to the base of the dam but will have to leave your bike or push up to see the reservoir.

Road bridge over River Avon. C17 or C18 packhorse bridge with hump back and widened on upstream side. Stone rubble. single round arch. Large stone slabs forming string with parapets above with large granite coping stones. In 1669 Lydia Bridge was in decay and the existing bridge appears to be either the restored earlier bridge or an entire rebuilding of late C17 or C18 https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101307206-lydia-bridge-south-brent#.Y_SY0SaZO3A

Dam with a beautiful lake behind it. Beautiful panorama.

Lydia Bridge is a stone packhorse bridge dating back to the 17th or 18th century and remains a Grade II listed structure. Standing on it, you’ll find a waterfall immediately north, running over mossy boulders and generally looking quaint and lovely.

Really great bit of trail in either direction. Very gravel bike-able.
