A wonderful, lively church with a churchyard.

Didn't know you had to pay £1 to park here. Must be an honesty box?

A 5 mile climb from Yelverton!

This part of the trail can become very busy with walkers and cyclists, so forget your Strava split times unless you go early!

Public toilets available by the Park Visitor Centre

A good few 'dings' of a bell will alert walkers in the tunnel if on your bike! If you don't have a bell - a big old 'Woo Woooo' will carry down the tunnel as well!

Toilets available during open hours!

Small track taking you off Drakes Trail to Bickleigh/ New Road.

A beautiful viewpoint and starting point for hikes

Go early it gets busy

Go early it gets busy at the start of the ride

Very photogenic spot

luckily there's a footbridge too for those who don't want to get their feet or electric motor wet.

Burrator Reservoir is a stunning reservoir in Dartmoor. It sits on the southern side, as it was built to supply water to the people of Plymouth. Here there is a lovely little unnamed water fall coming into the reservoir off the thick wooded western hillside. There is also a little bench seat here. A great break spot if you're doing a lakeside trail.

Busy in the summer, icecream van 😋

Ashburton - the home of posh hippies and natural delicious food!

Picturesque and well worth including on a tour.

Cake to die for - a must stop on a ride.

This is SUCH an amazing place with exceptional lunches, cakes and coffee. There's lots of seating inside, a garden out back and they're happy for bikes to be brought in and leant against the walls. There were about 9 bikes in there when I went, including mine. They serve plant based, often locally sourced food with a sustainable ethos.

In June 2022, four of us cycled the entire Drake's Trail from Plymouth to Ilfracombe, spreading it out over three days. After stopping for tea and cakes at my brother in-law's near Yelverton, we headed into the Grenofen tunnel. As already mentioned here, it is only dimly lit and it is surprisingly chilly, the temperature contrast being even more noticeable on a warm day, and the ceiling is constantly dripping icy water! Definitely need your lights on and cycle very cautiously as pedestrians and other cyclists are often tricky to spot in the gloom! We stopped for the first night in Oakhampton, the second in Barnstable and the third in Ilfracombe before cycling back to Barnstable on the last day to get the train back to Exeter. It was a very pleasant tour and the first section as far as Tavistock follows the course of the old railway, so is off road and generally a gentle slope upwards, but after that the route sometimes takes to the road and is often steep and often quite narrow. Surface wise it is good all the way, suitable for road and off road bikes.
