Echo Chaley, it’s fine (but a bit bumpy) of towpath type gravel that’s been bedded down, but I find it gets pretty uncomfortable when the going gets rough eg farm tracks or bridleways. If a normal person would take a normal mixte/hybrid/Dutch bike on the path then it’s be fine, if it needs a more specialised bike or a normal person would only go on a mtb then you may have less fun.
However bike ride > no bike ride so give it a go and if necessary one can always walk parts of it.

People who mentioned riding gravel on the last page - can you elaborate a bit more on how it was on the Brompton? Am going to Devon for a week and while I would love to take my gravel bike, I’ll be the only cyclist in the group and it might be overkill. But it would be nice to get out and explore a bit as well, so if I don’t I’ll at least take the Brompton - but having not really done any distance on gravel on the thing, I’m wondering how well prepared I will be…
