Route 1 is a ramble along the eastern end of the canal from Sampford Peverell to Lowdwell Lock, This route is a Level 2 as far as Waytown Tunnel, where the route crosses a road. There is a steep slope up to the road, with a gate and a short steeper slope the other side of the road. Therefore the last 600/700 meters is a Level 3
Location : Sampford Peverell
Starting Point : Village car park
OS Grid Reference : ST032144
Distance : 9.6 Miles
Route Surface : Gravel
Category : Level 2 / 3
This route can be shortened at any point, dependant on your personal / Scooter abilities. I have graded it a Level 2 as far as Waytown Tunnel, purely on distance. The level 3 tag for the final part, is a combination of steep path and opening a gate.
There is plenty of wildlife to look out for, on this section of the canal. The feature photo is the Waytown Lime Kilns.
