웨스트 벅패스틀리 최고의 러닝 경로

작은 자연 길

Nice ride out to Redlake, but then using a map, gps and standing on top of the hill, unable to find the track to Avon dam. Really disappointing.

Red Lake is an area of former china clay workings, with a peaceful lake and volcano-shaped spoil heap. Today it's a grass covered hill with great views over the south moor. The lakes in the area are inviting on a hot day, and it's a good site for a responsible wild camp. The track from Ivybridge is a long run, but the navigation is easy and it feels brilliantly wild. OuterEdge Events hold a popular Dartmoor Volcano race to this point each September.

If you're riding (or on/off riding and hiking) from the Avon Reservoir up towards Red Lake on the bridleway, this is the part thats a solid push. From the Avon River where you cross over the clapper bridge it's a steep hike up the side of the hill on the Two Moors Way bridleway onto Brent Moor. It may be steep, but thankfully it doesn't last too long.

Great place for a camp and swim - see the Dartmoor Camping Code: https://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/enjoy-dartmoor/outdoor-activities/camping/backpack-camping-code

Very nice church and chapel. Very worthwhile. Free entrance

Red Lake is a the volcano shaped spoil heap from the china clay and other mineral mining that used to occur here. Today it's a grass covered hill with great views over the south moor. The lakes are still and inviting on a hot day and it's a good site for a responsible wild camp.
