This route spans 14.4 miles (23.1 km) and involves a total ascent of 973 feet (296 metres), offering a diverse journey from rugged granite terrain near Princetown to the serene waters of Burrator Reservoir. You can expect to complete this loop in approximately 1 hour and 59 minutes, experiencing wide-open moorland vistas and a true sense of wilderness as you ride.
When planning your visit, remember that Dartmoor's weather can shift rapidly, so prepare for changeable conditions on this exposed trail. Princetown is a convenient starting point, providing amenities like parking, cafes, and pubs for your convenience. While generally accessible, be aware that some sections of the trail feature rubbly tracks and challenging granite boulders, especially on descents, which will test your mountain biking skills.
This trail offers more than just a ride; it's a journey through history and striking natural beauty. You will pass by significant landmarks such as the tranquil Burrator Reservoir and its impressive dam, providing a stark contrast to the open moorland. Keep an eye out for historical sites like the disused Eylesbarrow tin mine and the prominent South Hessary Tor, which add a rich layer of context to your mountain biking experience in this unique part of Dartmoor.
