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.

Road bridge over River Avon. C17 or C18 packhorse bridge with hump back and widened on upstream side. Stone rubble. single round arch. Large stone slabs forming string with parapets above with large granite coping stones. In 1669 Lydia Bridge was in decay and the existing bridge appears to be either the restored earlier bridge or an entire rebuilding of late C17 or C18 https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101307206-lydia-bridge-south-brent#.Y_SY0SaZO3A

Shipley Bridge is a major access point to Dartmoor's southern moors. There is a parking lot, toilets and information boards. A paved trail winds its way up through the Avon Dam Reservoir Valley to Avon Dam Reservoir. Initially this runs next to the river. Along the path you will meet stray pigs.

Beautiful to walk along.

This bridge is well placed near Huntingdon Cross, in an area that used to be quite boggy and always difficult to walk through.

Lovely open moorland. Doable on a gravel bike in either direction especially if dry but it’s very much not a smooth track. A classic Dartmoor way - decent in places but varying between bog and rutted boulders for the rest.

Lydia Bridge is a stone packhorse bridge dating back to the 17th or 18th century and remains a Grade II listed structure. Standing on it, you’ll find a waterfall immediately north, running over mossy boulders and generally looking quaint and lovely.

Erected in 2018 by the National Park, funded by Totnes Ramblers and South Devon Ramblers. Well done them.

Great place for a quick break if the weather permits 👌🏼

One of many River Avons in England, this one runs from Southern Dartmoor’s bleak moorland, down through South Brent and out to the English Channel at Bigbury. The section of the river that runs from the Avon Dam to Shipley Bridge is particularly wonderful, as you can follow the bridle path that hugs the water.

The Avon Dam sits above Shipley Bridge in quintessential moorland surroundings. Cattle, sheep and Dartmoor ponies can often be seen grazing alongside the reservoir, on the grassy hills that roll up and away. The dam itself is just as spectacular as the views you can enjoy from it and the Avon Dam Reservoir is vast and beautiful as well. This is a perfect spot for a rest and a bite to eat, particularly as the ascent to it from the south is quite steep in the final section.

This church has quite a colourful history and its oldest section is the Norman tower. In the 14th century, much of the church was demolished and rebuilt, renovated again in the 15th century. In the 1400s the Reverend John Hay was pulled out of the church and brutally murdered in the grounds by a group of men; the reasons lost to history. The door through which he was taken was blocked off but can still be seen from the outside. Its long history is in evidence everywhere, as is its transformation over the centuries. Walking around the church is a peaceful experience and a little like going back in time.

Originally built for packhorses, the Avon cascades underneath Lydia bridge, it's name is a Saxon word for white water

Very picturesque bridge of the River Avon with great views upstream from the bridge. Need to go downstream and scramble over the rocks for a good view up to the bridge. Great place to kick back and enjoy the view ride or walk or just picnic.

Lovely waterfall just above the bridge. Lots of teenagers jumping in the water when it's warm enough.

Just a fun mountain bike descent along a disused tramway, nothing technical, grass and dirt
