스토크 플레밍 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

March 26 - despite storm damage, do visit Torcross as they rebuild businesses and hopefully the road too. You need to walk past the damaged road section - a few minutes pushing the bike and then you can re-join the roads

Very technical on a CX bike in autumn. Runoff scoured channel on steeper gradients, with slab rocks particularly slippy. Narrow single-track very slippy mud on exposed track surface. Likely a lot more fun in the dry and on a mountain bike.

This American Sherman Tank was recovered from the sea in 1984. It is a memorial to those who lost their lives during exercise Tiger. Exercise Tiger was ill-fated with instances of friendly fire, miss managed communications and amidst the confusion German fast attack boats slipped in amongst the landing craft and sunk a couple. About 700 allies lost their lives here practising for the D-Day landings.

Slapton Ley is the largest natural freshwater lake in the south west, separated from the sea by a shingle beach. As a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) it was declared a National Nature Reserve (NNR) in 1993. The Nature Reserve is 1.5 miles long and covers over 490 acres of natural woodland, marshes and reedbed habitat, making it a wildlife haven for all types of birds and vegetation.

Beautiful coastal area. Can be busy at peak times but always beautiful.

This restored Sherman Tank was recovered from the sea in 1984 and commemorates the tragic loss of life in 1944 on Exercise Tiger. The exercise went badly wrong after the arrival of German U-Boats and was kept quiet for many years. A number of the US servicemen who died are still buried in unmarked graves. Further information can be found here https://www.submerged.co.uk/slapton/ In the build up to the D-Day Landings, Torcross and its beach were used as a training area due to its resemblance to the Normandy beaches. Around 300 residents were evacuated

Beautiful view on the climb out of or descent into Torcross. You can see the narrow strip of land and beach which separates the lake from the sea.

Steep climb from Torcross if you follow the NCN28
