ブラックオウトンのおすすめランニングルート

Nice church, friendly pub (only open in the evenings) and a few oddities (see my pictures)... Cornworthy put a smile on our faces!

You don't always get through the forest with dry feet, so appropriate footwear helps. Otherwise, it's a very idyllic, varied section. Sometimes you come right to the river!

Uphill is slippery, even when you are just picking up your bike. Downhill would be... errr... daring?

The climb isn't too steep, it's just a long constant grind.

suitable only for the hardiest of MT B riders

The Harbourne River flows down from Harbourne Head near the Avon Dam to reach the Dart and then the sea. The last tidal section is known as Bow Creek. It's an arm of the upper Dart Estuary with a nice quiet path along its southern shore.

Broadgates Lane is part of the Dart Valley Trail and the John Musgrave Heritage Trail. At the Barberry end it crosses Barberry Water over and old packhorse bridge.

Tuckenhay is a small hamlet of waterfront houses on Bow Creek. While small, there is still enough room for two pubs in Tuckenhay. Its history is in papermaking but now you are more likely to see passing kayaks and paddleboards on the tidal creek. Particularly beautiful in the Autumn when the riverbank is swathed in red and gold.
