Cafe 3 Sixty

Highlight • Cafe

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.

Wray Valley Trail

Highlight • Trail

Can get quite busy on sunny weekends

Wray Valley Trail

Highlight • Trail

Wide and relatively smooth gravel cycle path keeping you away from the main road.

Great way to link up Moretonhampstead to Bovey Tracey and Newton Abbot.

There's one hillier road section in the middle as you ride through the village of Lustleigh.

Wray Valley Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A fantastic traffic-free link trail from Moretonhampstead to Lustleigh following a former railway line. Just like a bridleway, the trail is for use by walkers, horse riders and cyclists.

The trail is well surfaced, mainly with light gravel but is paved in a few places. There are a few new bridges that have been built to facilitate this trail, and an audio guide that you can listen along to (see the signposts or visit dartmoor.gov.uk/wildlife-and-heritage/dartmoor-story/dartmoor-story-pages/places/wray-valley for more information).

Moretonhampstead Village

Highlight • Restaurant

Lovely little Dartmoor town. Bakery van on Tuesdays and Saturdays! Also a zero waste shop with ideal vegan trail snacks.

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.
