Not for swimming but lovely “beaches” for a picnic or cuppa.

Seemingly rising out of nowhere, Blackingstone Rock is a behemoth, isolated granite tor. It lies just off the road and is well worth locking your bike up at the bottom and scaling the rock for its outstanding views.

While you could pop on your climbing shoes and scale the rock face itself, the easier route is via the Victorian stairs that are laid into the side.

Kennick Reservoir

Highlight • Structure

The most northerly of a trio of reservoirs above Lustleigh, Kennick Reservoir is a picturesque place for a rest. Any paths around the southern half of the reservoir are reserved for private anglers but the road and adjacent parking is quiet enough to stop in. You can also walk south to Tottiford reservoir where you’ll find public footpaths and plenty of grassy banks that make fantastic picnic spots.

While there are plenty of ducks, it’s the egrets that will catch your eye. Both little egrets and great white egrets have been seen here.
