モルトンハムステッドのおすすめランニングルート

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.

Near Fingle Bridge, if the need arises, there is also a very convenient public toilet.

Very nice bridge. Nice excursion restaurant. Good starting point for walks or hikes along the romantic Teign.

The Hunter's Path is a high level trail, running from Hunter's Tor in the west, along an awesome airy trail below Castle Drogo and through Drewston Wood. The trail is well maintained by the National Trust, but does get steeper and sometimes slippery at the eastern end, above Fingle Bridge.

Fingle Bridge is a 17th-century stone bridge over the River Teign. It's a useful crossing point linking some of the enjoyable gravel riverside trails in the area. The riverside paths on both sides of the river make great running loops. The Fingle Bridge hotel is also a good pit stop, set in idyllic surroundings.

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

One of my favourite spots in Devon. This is a cute village with so much character.
