Cycling
in Mid-Devon
Foldout
leaflet with maps and detailed directions of two cycle routes starting and
ending in Tiverton which is also on the West Country Way Cycle Route.
Extract:
'The two cycle routes in
the leaflet explore the river valleys of the Exe and Lowman and their
surrounding countryside and villages. As with all river valleys,
there are steep climbs - particularly on the Exe Valley route - as well
as more gentle stretches. It is probably worth
taking time to explore Tiverton itself, with its museum, castle and
Grand Western Canal on the edge of the town.
The
Exe Valley Cycle Route
16 miles
'This circular route explores the beautiful valleys of the River Exe.
The first half of the route follow the Exe Valley Way, a long
distance route for walkers and is waymarked. It is a route of
contrasts, some reasonably gentle stretches but also some steep
climbs, especially around Holmingham Quarry. The climbs are rewarded by
some spectacular views of the the valley. The halfway point of the route
is Bampton, a small attractive country town on the edge of Exmoor.
The
Lowman Valley Cycle Route
23 miles
'This
circular route explores the gentle valley or the River
Lowman, and some of the many picturesque villages in and around it.
There are many opportunities to vary the route by making
use of the network of lanes which criss-cross the countryside.'
