Fabulous Trail! A 7 mile (11km) mainly traffic-free route from Bovey Tracey to Moretonhampstead follows the dismantled railway line through the National Trust Parke Estate and past the beautiful picturesque village of Lustleigh.

The Old Bovey Railway Line, also known as the Bovey Tracey to Moretonhampstead railway, was a branch line in Devon, England, that served the towns of Bovey Tracey and Moretonhampstead. The railway was opened in the mid-19th century, specifically in 1866, to facilitate the transportation of goods and passengers in this rural area. The line played a vital role in the local economy, enabling the transport of agricultural products, minerals, and other goods. It was particularly significant for the granite industry, as the region is known for its granite quarries. The railway line was eventually closed to passenger traffic in the mid-20th century, with the last freight services ceasing in the 1970s. Today, parts of the old railway line have been repurposed as walking and cycling paths, allowing visitors to explore the scenic countryside while enjoying the history of the railway. The route offers a glimpse into the region's rural heritage and is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. If you're interested in railway history or simply enjoy walking in beautiful landscapes, the Old Bovey Railway Line provides a lovely opportunity to connect with both.

This church was not dedicated to one of the many people revered as saints, but to the archangel MICHAEL. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally also a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.

Away from the road and a long section where you can get into a rhythm.

Yes its a tad on the pricey side, but a good place to stop, indoor cycle rack, food quality always good.

Went in on a cycle tour at the end of a long day - no pasta on the menu, no pump to check tyre pressures, no oil can to lube the chain, no help refilling water bottles. It's a bike themed cafe with high prices, but that's all.

One of the best cycling cafes in Devon for riding out onto Dartmoor, Cafe 3 Sixty has secure indoor bike parking and a really extensive tasty menu. Coffee and cake or something more substantial, their friendly staff are quick and efficient so you'll be fuelled up in no time. A must visit for cyclists passing through Bovey Tracey! https://www.cafe3sixty.co.uk/
