FANCYING CYCLING SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT?
We are directly on The Granite Way, a traffic free cycle route, which forms part of the Devon Coast to Coast Route 27 running between Okehampton and Lydford. There are beautiful views from Meldon Viaduct and Lake Viaduct along the route. We are open Easter - End of Sept including Feb and Oct half terms, however if anyone wanted bikes outside of these times, as long as we're not away we'd happily open up.
