Anyone know if there is any singletrack hidden away up there?
I head there occasionally for a quick and easy off-road blast if I'm short of time or in poor weather when I don't fancy committing to our more challenging local loops.
Whenever I do I always think that it has loads of potential for off piste stuff but never actually spot any.
Anyone got any inside info or tips? Or shall I just stick to the fire roads.... or pack a shovel and pruning saw? 😉
small bump for Friday afternoon lurkers.
the latter, then be sure to tell us when you've crafted something special 8)
Ah...thought that was the case. Worth a punt.
The only bit I've found so far is a short section dropping down along the stream towards Sandeman bridge.
On the map there are a few trails marked around the South of the forest around Assycombe Hill which I'll try and take a look at next time I'm up there.
Still quite like it up there - I particularly love the view down the valley from Teignhead Farm.. a fine bivi spot I reckon.

Got lost in Fernworthy Forest on a couple of occasions but never found any meaningful singletrack. You're right about Teignhead Farm though...

I used to ride with the Forest Manager for Dartmoor about 10 years ago and we went up there a few times. He knew it very well and there just wasn't much riding there.
I believe the FC also don't encourage access much away from the poular spots as it is a good location for Goshawk, which are easily disturbed.
