A nice gravel/ grass trail to ride until you reach the quarry side, where it can be technically challenging for both mountain bikes and gravel bikes - if you are on a road bike, you will probably be walking this bit!

In the vast landscape of Dartmoor (a name, incidentally, that avowed fans of English crime novels from the literature of this genre will recognize as a rather dark/spooky place), where prominent landmarks are largely lacking, the small sacred monuments erected many centuries ago impressively shape the landscape. The hard granite stone typical of the region, from which the cross was carved—with comparatively short branches that are little more than a suggestion—defenses wind and weather.

Great viewing point across Dartmoor

We rode this trail on a bank holiday Monday and it was surprisingly quiet - well worth including!

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.

Also known as Siward's Cross, Nun's Cross is one of many granite stone crosses across Dartmoor. The cross sits at the junction of two major tracks; the Abbots’ Way and the Monks’ Path, which link abbeys at Buckfast with Tavistock and Buckland. The cross stands close to Nun's Cross Farm, which can be seen from the junction. Although the meaning behind its more common name is unknown, the word Siward is carved into the stone, which is thought to refer to the Saxon Earl Siward, who once was a landowner around Tavistock.

A fantastic view point which can be admired from the bike or you can take a short detour onto a trail to visit more closely.

Proper stop on loops out to Brent Tor or Lydford. The nobbly top of this tor is visible across south Dartmoor, and the church on top is open from Easter Sunday for services.

Nice secluded section of route 27 where you drop sown slightly to the edge of the river Tavy, where a bridge takes you from one side to the other. A lovely spot for a rest or a snack listening to the peaceful movement of the river as it flows past.

Lovely old bridge, and weir in full flow.

Nice gravel track with technical sections on the climb past the cross. watch out for the drainage trenches across the tracks.

Nice and accessible railway path

Well worth a stop
