Ian,
Don’t suppose you could scan the North Bovey Devon one and send it to me, could you?

Don’t really want to buy the mag just for one article.

HI JEREMY.
North Bovey Devon. (OS ref noSX 759834.
OS Map Landranger 191 Oakhampton and North Dartmoor.

Dartmoor national park is a disappointment to l.r.drivers due to the fact that green lanes are vertualy none existent for the most part.
luckyly ,on the eastern fringes of the moor there are byways a plenty-some of which are well worth exploring.
One of the best ,which lies a couple of miles south of mortonhampstead is a two mile section of the Dartmoor Way. It boasts a hard ,rocky surface which is suitable for any lr.at any time of the year,but the deep wash outs look as though they could prove tricky during spells of wet weather .
But if you do like water,this is certainly the track to visit,for the last 200 yards of the lane join the course of the river Bovey, under a dense tree canopy, before it finaly emerges in the village of North Bovey.
The river is mainly shallow ,but it could be subject to flash floods during the torrential rainfall often experienced in this part of the world...and in such conditions it should be avoided.
While you are in the erea , you can also drive a typical Devon byway about 2 miles to the north-east ,near the village of Bridport.
And dont neglect to make a short detour to see one of Dartmoors outstanding national features of craggy topography , known as Blackingstone Rock.
The truth is , this part of the Dartmoor National park abounds with BYways ripe for the exploring if you are lucky enough to be holidaying in the erea.
