A circular ride past Steps Bridge and the Reservoirs

A cycling route starting in Heavitree, England, United Kingdom.

Overview

About this route

1

This route is a lovely route, predominently away from traffic that works its way out towards Moretonhampstead before diverting to the 3 Reservoirs (Kennick, Tottiford and Trenchford), and winding its way down the Teign Valley and back over Haldon.

There is some climbing to be down but you are rewarded with fantastic views.

In Exeter most of the major routes can be avoided as cycle paths are followed rather than being on the main road.
