메리 타비 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

최근에 재포장되었습니다(2026년 4월 8일). 거칠고 큰 돌 대신 단단한 흙으로 덮였습니다.

The official website promotes the DRAKE'S TRAIL with the words, "Drake's Trail in West Devon is a 21-mile cycling and walking route linking Tavistock with Plymouth. This important part of Devon's recreational route network runs through superb countryside with attractive scenery along the western edge of Dartmoor, along with much historical and heritage interest."

Great on a dry day

I deliberately returned to this route having missed it the day before on a more ambitious circular route (which would have made it a decent). The following day I attempted to climb it with the river on the left. Whilst the start is interesting enough, the track quickly degrades to a boulder field which I'd class as un-ridable by any standards. It gets worse with any semblance of a track being reduced to looking for horse droppings! I scouted the area on foot, which itself wasn't easy, in search of a way through but finally had to accept defeat. My warning therefore is to ONLY attempt this as a descent (as Simon did) since I suspect the route might be clearer in the opposite direction - and also allow plenty of time. As a footnote, if climbing, then it's easy to find yourself on a much steeper track to the right, which oddly enough is just about climbable and fun to descend (don't think it goes anywhere though)

Great viewing point across Dartmoor

Views over the Moor!

The bridge provides lovely views along the valley.

A few lights in the tunnel brighten things up, but there are a few spots where visibility can be a little low.
