OLD RAILWAYS ON HORSEBACK
EQUINE RAILWAY ACCESS
The Granite Way
The old railway line from Okehampton to Tavistock.
This section is from Okehampton to Lydford although it looks possible that other sections could be utilised and we will update as we have the information. There is a break in the southerly section where there is an alternative route on the West Devon Way to re-join the open section of the old railway.
Grid ref: SX 590 944 at Okehampton Grid ref: SX 516 852 near Lydford 11 miles It is now part of the national cycleway route 27 and this section at Okehampton is alongside the line so check train times if you intend to ride it. Originally built by the London South- Western Railway (LSWR) and others, the line to Lydford was completed in 1874. There were a number of different companies building lines in the area that leased operations to the LSWR and the line the Granite Way uses was closed down to railway traffic in 1963.
