Zeal Tor Tramway Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Lovely open moorland. Doable on a gravel bike in either direction especially if dry but it’s very much not a smooth track. A classic Dartmoor way - decent in places but varying between bog and rutted boulders for the rest.

Redlake China Clay Settling Tanks

Highlight • Historical Site

Part of the old China clay works at Redlake. Disused since the 1930s, most of the old structures were blown up by the army- which explains the piles of concrete rubble still present at Redlake.

Red Lake Railway (Puffing Billy Track)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Real dream of a gravel route with amazing views of the moors and the sea to the south. Apart from the big climb up from Bittaford, the actual gravel route is pretty flat. But the road is a dead end.
