Hi there, Can anyone tell me what has happen to the cycle link Wilminstone/Harford Bridge, I understood weeks ago they were suppose to start on this section of cycle track. The track was to join Wilminstone and Harford Bridge, offroad using the old railway bridge as an underpass under the A386. Weeks ago signs went up warning motorists work would be starting on a particular date which has long gone, nothing happened and the signs disappeared.
You never know maybe they have changed their minds and they will open up the railway between Tavistock and Lydford!!

ReportYour local cycle sleuth is on the case but it may take a few days to get an answer. Did you know that you can now send cycling queries to Devon County Council at this web page on the main Devon County Council site? tinyurl.com/pntt67

ReportThanks ever so much for the info, it is nice to hear that it will be done this year. You mention it will be an easier route, are you really sure about that? I live at Brentor and regularly use the route up Wilminstone Hill/Cherrybrook to get to and from Tavistock. I have tried the Blackdown, Mary Tavy, Peter Tavy, Moorshop route in both directions and basically it is darned hard work cycling that way, far too many hills, if only they opened up the railway from Wilminstone to Lydford. I am sure it would encourage a lot more people to cycle, including families, there is no way children could cycle on the above mentioned routes, they are far too hilly and far too much traffic.
