ウォークハンプトンでののおすすめランニングルート

This is a tranquil little place, excellent for a walk, run or cycle. Beautiful scenery with lots of viewing points. Surrounded by woodland, it's often more sheltered here than on the high moor. A road runs round the reservoir, so if you are walking, be aware of traffic.

Burrator Dam was built in 1898. According to information boards in the nearby Burrator Discovery Centre, the dam is 23.4m/77ft high and 114m/375ft wide and is built from granite and concrete.

Burrator Reservoir is situated within Dartmoor, and the tranquil water and surrounding mixed woodland contrasts sharply with the open moor and the rugged Dartmoor tors. A trip here can be combined with a walk across the moors, or enjoyed as a trip of its own with plenty to do – from walking and taking in the views, to fishing for rainbow and brown trout (just be sure to get a permit, available online or by calling South West Lakes). Devon has relatively few lakes, but the situation and quality of these make them a hidden gem in Devon’s crown.

The dam was finished here in 1898 to block the River Meavy at Burrator Gorge to create the Burrator Reservoir. The reservoir now not only provides drinking water to the city of Plymouth but is a beautiful place to walk. The route around the water's edge, through mixed woodland, can be completed in either direction and is very different to walking the surrounding moors and tors. It is perfect for families and those who would prefer an easier walk as it is flat with a good surface.
