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.

The Exeter Inn is the oldest pub in Ashburton, built in 1130 to house the workers of St Andrew's Church and has remained an inn ever since.

Number 9 East St (now a greengrocer) has a fire insurance mark on the front of the building. These were placed at a height that was easy to see, but out of the reach of thieves. This was issued by the Royal Insurance Company which was founded in 1845. Early insurance companies also had fire departments that would put out fires in buildings insured with that company.
