Venford Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Parking

Tucked away amongst the vast expanses of moorland of Dartmoor National Park, this is a delightful place to explore. The reservoir is surrounded by beautiful forests, heaths and winding rivers where you can swim. There is also varied wildlife such as sheep, wild ponies and birds. You can park at the reservoir, but in summer it is difficult to find a place.

Combestone Tor

Highlight • Viewpoint

Dartmoor is home to more than 160 tors but Combestone Tor is one of the easiest to access by bike and car as the road passes right by. Not only is the tor a fantastically impressive jumble of granite rocks but it also offers tremendous views, particularly along the Dart Valley northwards. The view west is also excellent, with moorland and fields rolling off into the distance.

You can scramble to the top of the rocks if you’ve got steady feet and will often find Dartmoor ponies roaming around the base.

St Raphael's Church

Highlight • Other

St Raphael’s Chapel is a small church in the hamlet of Huccaby, near Dartmeet, on Dartmoor. It was built in 1868 as a combined chapel and schoolroom, and it has the distinction of being the only Anglican chapel in the country to be dedicated to the Archangel St Raphael. His name means ‘God’s Healing’ or ‘God has healed’ and he is one of the archangels who stood before the throne. He is also known as the patron saint of travellers1. The chapel has a simple interior with old school desks and chalkboards, and a stained glass window depicting St Raphael23. The chapel is part of The Beacon Parishes Mission Community, which includes five churches in the area.

Dartmeet and Clapper Bridge

Highlight • Natural Monument

Dartmeet is named as the meeting point of the two major tributaries of the Dart, the East Dart and West Dart rivers. This has been a crossing point for hundreds of years with the remains of an old clapper bridge near the current road bridge (built in 1792). It's a nice place to stop for a break before tackling the road climbs in either direction.

View from the Top of the Moor

Highlight • Summit

Top of the climb there's great views, ponies and tors on the moors

New Bridge (River Dart)

Highlight • River

New Bridge was built across the Dart in 1413. It's a good stopping point when riding this road because it gives access to some nice walks down the river and because the hills are so steep! There is often an ice cream van here.
