Dartmoor: Mountain Bike Routes (Goldeneye Bikinguides)

Maps for the ultimate off-road experience. --Mountain Biker International

Herewith 10 of the best off-road routes in and around Dartmoor. Checked and approved by the National Park authorities these routes include Public Rights of Way; bridle-paths and quiet lanes. The map is easy to fold out, tear-resistant and matt laminated for protection. The routes are graded with approximate time and mileage. The tracks across the highest parts of Dartmoor tend to involve more pushing and carrying than riding, so the best and most rideable off-road circuits are found around the edges of the moors though some of these still cross significant stretches of the high moor. These routes are wonderfully varied sometimes taking in beautiful forested areas or criss-crossing clear moorland rivers and they offer something for all skill levels. The routes are graded: easy, moderate and more strenuous although none are what could be called hard core mountain bike routes. Approximate times and mileage are included. The routes include the Sourton Circuit - Okehampton & Meldon Reservoir, on the High Moors South of Okehampton, Drewsteignton-Morehampstead-Castle Drogo, South & East of Moretonhampstead, from North Bovey SE to Houndtor Woods & South from North Bovey to Houndtor, Headland Warren-Challacombe-Hookney Downs, South from Postbridge to the Forest Inn, Princetown & Burrator Reservoir and East of Burrator Reservoir to Nuns Cross, Mary Tavy-Gibbet Hill-Tavistock, and East of the Tavy to White Barrow. All routes are graded and include approximate mileage and timings.
