Full description

Harris, H., 1994, The Haytor Granite Tramway and Stover Canal, 4 (Monograph). SDV341541.

The Haytor Granite Tramway between Bovey and Ventiford has largely been destroyed by the 1860's railway. However where the tramway meandered and the railway takes a straighter course, at Summerland bridge, the tramway route is still visible.
