This is just a courtesy note to North Bovey and Manaton parish councils to let you know that the annual Dartmoor Devil cycle ride will pass through your parishes on Sunday 25th October.

There will be a total of no more than 200 riders on the event and should be very well spread out to prevent bunching.

Riders leave Bovey Tracey in two groups, at 8am and 9am, and will follow the route on the attached map. The first riders to pass by Chagford will do so at around 0915 and the last at around 1145. From Chagford the riders head south via North Bovey, Manaton and Hound Tor before heading down towards Ashburton. Later in the day after visiting Princetown and Postbridge, the riders return via Widecombe before finishing back at Bovey Tracey.

Kind regards,

David Twigger

Manaton Parish council APM will be held on the 11th of May 2026 in the village hall.
