Tramlines Bridleway connects Okehampton railway station with the East Okement River at Charlotte's Bridge. The bridleway forms part of the Devonshire Heartland Way, a footpath that runs to Stoke Canon in East Devon. As with all bridleways, cycling is allowed so long as cyclists give way to walkers and horse riders if encountered.
Okehampton United Charities have secured 33 acres of land surrounding Okehampton which it will protect in perpetuity from development and maintain it as a green space for residents.
The charity secured the purchase of Tramlines Bridleway and the fields at Kempleys, Tramlines and alongside the East Okement River last month and intend to conserve the land as an environmentally-friendly space for recreational and educational use.
The land owned by Okehampton United Charities now encompasses part of the the bridleway which runs through the Tramlines Woods and can now be accessed through Simmons Park. The Woodland Trust manage the other section of the Tramlines Bridleway.
