Evening all
Q. I am soon to be going to South Devon (Kingsbride to be exact) and am looking for some routes any ideas? Happy to drive to Dartmoor if necessary but I'm thinking there must be some good riding around there or close vacinity?
Thanks
MTB
I meant kingsbridge!
I (sort of) grew up down there. (Long story!)
There's not a huge amount of riding, to be honest. Get in a boat! 🙂
Dartmoor is a pleasure, though.
I sort of did too but didn't do much riding back then so can't really remember. Dartmoor it is then...
Whereabouts? I was on the right side of the estuary...! 😉
harberton nr tones, then latterly slapton. I just remember riding a lot of lanes but not too much off-roading. Might try hot pursuit in tones and see if they do any organised rides.
One of my favourite parts of the world and home to my favourite UK regatta Royal Dartmouth Regatta with air displays every evening inc the Red Arrows. Walk the coastal path, take a trip on steam railway,make a river trip from Dartmouth upstreamm.

I don't know when you're moving down, but keep hold of my email (in my profile) and I'll show you a couple of routes about 8/9 miles from where you are (south Datrmoor). Give me a shout when you're ready to ride.
Slugwash, very close to the Pig's Nose there...! Which is nice!

very close to the Pig's Nose there
...... which has a handy adjacent campsite if you've imbibed a tad too much ale to get back on your bike and make it home 🙂
Cheers all.
CFH - what's pigs nose? I call myself local!
If you don't know the Pig's Nose, you ain't local, boy!
🙂
It's a pub. A very, very good one. One where my grandfather used to hold court. A fine, fine pub!
Quantocks is worth a look.
as is whistler.. if the OP is looking to avoid driving to Dartmoor.. the chances are that he'll probably not fancy driving [i]past[/i] Dartmoor and then a further 45 minutes up the motorway to get to the tox.. or have I missed something..?
LOL.
If you don't know the Pig's Nose, you ain't local, [s]boy[/s] buey!
