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

It's a café, it's a bar, it's a pub.

This traffic-free road is a really scenic way to get up onto the moors from Shipley Bridge near South Brent. It's technically a bridleway, through the vehicle-wide paved road makes for an easy, gentle climb. Look out though, as the uneven road is starting to crumble in some place. It's a really beautiful pedal as you ride alongside the gushing waterfalls of the River Avon and between bracken, crossing the water a few times as you head up towards the Avon Dam and reservoir.

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.

Bellever Bridge is an ancient crossing that spans the East Dart River near Postbridge. It's an idyllic location for a sit-down and picnic in a quintessential Dartmoor setting.

Despite it sitting beside the B3357 Dartmeet road this is another of those ancient Bronze age structures. Its has certainly been used in more recent times as a cattle/sheep enclosure. Although back in the bronze age times up to 17 people lived here in a number of huts, one of which can just be made out in the centre of the walled ring. Just inside the entrance on the left is the Judges Chair, believe to have been brought here by the local Dunnabridge farmer. He maintained that a bench from Crockern Tor formed the seat and that the Crockern judges table formed the roof of the Judge’s Chair. What is for certain is that it was used as a shelter by those tending their animals within the Pound.
