The Haytor Granite Tramway (also called Heytor) was a tramway built to convey granite from Haytor Down, Dartmoor, Devon to the Stover Canal. It was very unusual in that the track was formed of granite sections, shaped to guide the wheels of horse-drawn wagons. It was built in 1820; the granite was in demand in the developing cities of England as masonry to construct public buildings and bridges. In 1850 the quarries employed about 100 men but by 1858 they had closed due to the availability of cheaper Cornish granite.

  • Het Templerpad, in het Engels de Haytor Granite Tramway, is een wandelroute op het traject van een voormalige transportroute voor het vervoer van graniet. Deze transportroute is in 1820 aangelegd en loopt van Haytor in het huidige nationale park Dartmoor naar de kustplaats Teignmouth. De wandelroute volgt een voormalige trambaan, een kanaal en een rivier. De wandelroute is in beide richtingen bewegwijzerd en is 29 kilometer lang. (nl)
  • O Haytor Granite Tramway foi um teleférico singular construído em Down, Dartmoor, Devon, para transportar granito de Haytor, o qual era de baixa granulação e alta qualidade, para a construção de casas, pontes e outras estruturas. Em 1850, as pedreiras empregavam em torno de 100 homens, mas em 1858 elas fecharam devido a disponibilidade do granito da Cornualha, muito mais barato. (pt)
