Woodbury common is still open… don’t come down here though.. I mean.. don’t go there.. it’s rubbish.. oh yes.. ruuuuubbbbish.. with a capital ‘R’..
it’s certainly not always quiet.. oh no.. and there’s definitely NO rooty singletrack whatsoflippinever.. none at all..there’s no open moorland liberally criss-crossed with singletrack and pebbly doubletrack.. definitely not.. no flowing woodland sections.. no no no..
nothing to see here… move on..
But seriously.. Knobblies bike shop in Exmouth do a regular Woodbury ride.. It could meet your needs if I remember your previous posts on the subject of group rides correctly..
You can ride down the flat 12 mile Sustrans route from Exeter city center to Exmouth in no time at all.. or catch a train if you’re feeeling lazy.. then I believe the knobblies woodbury ride is usually around 20 – 25 miles off-road although that may be old information now..
There are some trails in Stoke Woods too.. these (pretty much) back straight on to the University..
