The Granite Way is a route of 18 km (11 miles) consisting mainly of a motor traffic-free cycle/walkway between Okehampton (near the railway station) and Lydford. It was built by Devon County Council[1] (DCC) and is part of the National Cycle Network (NCN) Route 27 ‘Devon Coast to Coast’ between Ilfracombe and Plymouth.[2] It is maintained jointly by DCC and Sustrans.[3] Currently, the Way is supported by a Sunday-only train service during summer months to and from Okehampton railway station providing links to nearby Exeter[4] run by DCC and Great Western Railway.
The Granite Way largely follows the course of the former Southern Region railway line.[5] The route includes notable features such as crossing the Meldon Viaduct and Lake Viaduct[6][7] both of which were formerly railway bridges and are of historical interest.[3] The Granite Way featured in Five of the best scenic bike rides in Devon.[8]
Much of the Way is within Dartmoor National Park.
