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.

Beautiful woodland with several granit tors embedded into the hill. There's a footpath that runs the whole way through and it's wicked in every season. Sometimes hard to spot in places in autumn because the leaf litter is so thick. Incredible bluebells in May.

Beautiful reservoir. You should take a look.

Beautiful reservoir with a great path around it. Nice place with cyclists and hikers.

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

Running parallel to the road, a leafy diversion off-tarmac for a while. No gates, easy access for all.

Now a foot and cycle path, this trail stretches from Bovey Tracey to the Lustleigh road and continues on past Lustleigh towards Moretonhampstead. This stretch is lush for running at any time of year, especially spring and autumn as the beech leaves are incredible. There are lots of trails off it too, so you can run different loops and routes.

Picturesque meander around the reservoirs - often very quiet (or even deserted!)
