Pump & Pedal to Meldon Dam

Share This Post

This is a Level One/Two due to a short steep path, from the cycle path to road. Also there is a slight incline in both directions, on the road to the Dam, which has several pot holes as well.

Location : Sourton

Starting Point : Pump and Pedal

OS Grid Reference : SX547917

Distance : 3.3 Miles

Route Surface : Asphalt, but pot holed in places on the road to the Dam

Category : Level One / Two

There is a very good easy access Disabled Toilet at the Pump & Pedal

This Ramble boarders on being a Level 2, because of the steep link path ( about 10 yards ) between the cycle path and the road. Along with the access road has some very bad Potholes. It is worth the effort, as there are some lovely views.

Meldon Dam is Accessible for all types of Mobility Scooter or Wheelchairs
Meldon Reservoir

Both the Viaduct and the Dam, are accessible from Okehampton Station via the cycle path.
