Having spent the best part of the last 100 years as a garage and workshop, the owners of Cafe 3 Sixty have transformed the building into a wonderful spot for hungry cyclists and passersby yet retained much of its history in the renovation.

An independent cafe, you’ll find a heavy bike theme here and you can even park your two-wheeled steed inside. Outside seating allows for dogs although they’re not permitted indoors due to the open kitchen.

Haytor Rocks Climb from Bovey Tracey

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Home to the 2019 National Hill Climb Championships and featured on the Tour of Britain, Haytor is a very well known climb on the fringes of Dartmoor, gaining 1,100 feet (335 m) over its long 3.3 mile (5.4 km) course.

If you love long and steady climbs, this is definitely one for you, and you’ll enjoy the wooded lane giving way to rough and wild moorland as you approach the granite tor at the top. Good luck and enjoy!

Hemsworthy Gate

A spectacular rolling road section along here from Hay Tor to Hemsworthy Gate and from Hemsworthy Gate towards Widecombe, with smooth tarmac and incredible moorland views.

The gate refers to the cattle grid and stone wall near the road junction for Widecombe, Bickington and Hay Tor.

Challacombe Valley Road, Dartmoor National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A fantastic road climb from Widecombe in the Moor to the south up to join the main moorland road to Moretonhampstead.

While this valley is littered with clues to its ancient past, including the settlements at Grimspound and Challacombe, the farm here today is leading the way in rewilding great swathes of the moorland for the benefit of nature.
