Cycle Hire and The Granite Way Cycle Route

The Granite Way is a truly amazing cycle route through rural Devon and Dartmoor National Park. Fantastic views of Dartmoor and the surrounding countryside are aplenty on this 11 mile journey. The Meldon Quarry section runs alongside the Dartmoor Railway that operates from Mid-Devon to the edge of Dartmoor.  It is easy to moderate cycling with many of the sections being flat. Meldon Viaduct is spectacular where there are wonderful views of Meldon Dam and Dartmoor. Incidentally, the route is also wonderful to walk and many do.

The route forms part of the National Cycle Network  Devon Coast to Coast Route 27.

Cycle hire is available on the Granite Way at Devon Cycle Hire . Telephone 01837 861141.
