On holiday for week down there. Is it worth taking the mountain bike? Not a part of the world i'm familiar with so any advice gratefully received.

There's some brilliant riding down there.

I'm sure the locals will be along soon to help you out.

Lustleigh has some good stuff. I've not explored it properly though, only scratched the surface. Good GPX routes/map required or a guide. Search for Lustleigh Cleave MTB, plenty of stuff about it and videos.

Spent last week revisiting Dartmoor. It’s got some stunning rides with Lustleigh possibly providing the cream of the crop, with an extension to Hound/Hookney Tor/Headland Warren a must-do. The Bowermans Nose descent is awesome at the moment with all this dry weather but heavily overgrown...
