    Tips

    Road cycling

    This section of the Devon Coast to Coast is the worst surface by far, more suitable for a gravel bike - completely unpaved, large flinty stones, some sharp corners, and a wooden footbridge across the River Tavy - but at least it's short. It's just passable on 28mm road tyres (as we did) but advise taking it really slowly, to avoid punctures or damage to expensive road wheels.

    The start of the section is show in the photo, next to the entrance to Mary Tavy Power Station (picture from Google maps).

    Road cycling

    You may struggle at points without a dedicate gravel/mountain bike, but this avoids the main road and is short enough to be pushed

    Road cycling

    The easier gravel riding around Dartmoor! Still a little chunky in places, perfect for a gravel bike.
