The granite way devon.
The granite way is part of the national cycle network route 27 devon coast to coast a wonderful cycle track running along the edge of dartmoor but in years past the spectacular views would have been enjoyed by victorian train passengers on their journey between exeter and plymouth.
Very easy access at many points along the route and even though it was a busy day with plenty of families also enjoying the path it was still tranquil and you could talke it all in at your own pace.
