A mobility scooter is available for hire at this site through the Countryside Mobility Scheme.
There is a disabled toilet, but access with larger mobility scooters is difficult, if not impossible.
This route follows the Heritage Trail and Templer Way at various points. The Sawdust Fusiliers Memorial is signposted from the lake circular walk, taking you out of the Country Park towards Stover School. Once in Teigngrace I headed towards A38 to find access to the cycle path. As this avoids the two Five Bar Farm Gates, either side of the railway line on the path in the village.
If you take the path in the village, you miss the the history lesson at Ventiford Basin.
On reaching the outskirts of Newton Abbot, I followed the cycle path towards the Town Centre. But there is a alternative route in Newton Abbot, which I will add, at a later date.
