Very photogenic spot

Great viewing point across Dartmoor

Burrator Reservoir is a stunning reservoir in Dartmoor. It sits on the southern side, as it was built to supply water to the people of Plymouth. Here there is a lovely little unnamed water fall coming into the reservoir off the thick wooded western hillside. There is also a little bench seat here. A great break spot if you're doing a lakeside trail.

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.

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.

A beautiful section of route 27 Granite Way where the trail opens up as you pass across the Meldon Viaduct. Views across show the undulating hills of the highest area within Dartmoor National park where High Willhays and Yes Tor are situated.

Maintained as part ofvthe Viaduct Path. Good views out over Tavistock. You can see the Tors of Dartmoor from here, on a clearer day!

Leat waterfall is a waterfall that can be seen at Burrator Reservoir, on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. It is formed by the water from the historic Devonport Leat, which was built in the 18th century to supply water to Plymouth Dockyard. The leat runs along the valley and ends at Burrator in a cascade of water that drops into the reservoir. The waterfall can be viewed from a footpath that follows the leat and crosses a bridge over it. The footpath also leads to the Burrator Discovery Centre, which offers exhibitions and displays about Burrator’s history, wildlife and culture. Leat waterfall is one of the attractions of Burrator Reservoir, which is a popular destination for families, nature enthusiasts, historians and Dartmoor lovers alike. The reservoir offers ample walks, views and wildlife, as well as fishing opportunities. You can also explore one of Dartmoor’s most spectacular tors, Sheepstor, which dominates Burrator and offers one of the most impressive views of the reservoir.

Burrator Discovery Centre is a visitor centre located near Burrator Reservoir, on the edge of Dartmoor National Park.

You can also buy permits for fishing at Burrator Reservoir, which is one of the most tranquil and picturesque natural angling venues in the South West. The reservoir is surrounded by woodlands, wetlands and moorlands, and offers ample walks and views.

Gem Bridge is closed for repairs until 4th June - no access for cyclists or pedestrians. There are small steps you can go down which locals said would allow you to cross but we're not from here so we weren't sure as there were no diversion signs at all. If cycling around the closure time ask locals about diversion before you get to the bridge just incase!

I think part of this ride at the moment is not open because of repairs along the route

Good view of the dam from here
