.
Location : Bellever Dartmoor
Starting Point : Forestry England car park.
OS Grid Reference : SX655771
Distance : 5.3 Miles
Route Surface : Good surface on Forest Track, rough stone track on the open Moor
Category : Level 3
There are Toilet facilities in the car park, but Postbridge is the nearest point for refreshments.
This is definitely a route for All Terrain Scooters, as the track on the open moor to Dunnabridge Pound is rough. The path up to Laughter Tor, is mainly grass and is fine in dry conditions. But should be avoided in wet conditions.
We went down to the river to look at the Clapper Bridge, before heading through the forest towards Dunnabridge. We pass a derelict farm house, before making our way onto the open moor. Once on the open moor the track is very rough, but not overly difficult.
There are a couple of short sections, where the camber has to be treated with respect, particularly with 3 wheeled models of scooter.
