SX5388 : Granite Way south of Lake Viaduct
taken 11 years ago, near to Sourton, Devon, England
Granite Way south of Lake Viaduct
A reverse view of SX5388 : Cycle path at Lake Viaduct, with the sign shown in SX5388 : Sign on the Granite Way on the left. Cyclists wishing to reach Lydford must turn left here to cross the A386 at Lake; although the Way does continue for over a kilometre southwards, you would have to retrace your steps (or wheels) to here. But the missing section is due to be filled this summer.
Silhouetted in the centre is an NCN Millennium Milepost. I should have taken a clearer image of it, as it is not shown on the site at present.

Granite Way
The Granite Way is a 9-mile cycle route, most of it along the former railway line between Okehampton and Lydford, and opened in May 2002. It forms part of NCN27, and makes use of impressive viaducts at Meldon and Lake. The route runs along the northwest edge of the Dartmoor National Park, and the two viaducts offer views of the moor.
Until 2013, the railway route was broken near Southerly, using lanes to cross the A386. This gap was filled in late 2013.
