Plymbridge Valley Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

First mile North has many dog walkers and children. Caution is needed as many forget it is a shared use path.
During summer months within first viaduct there is a Peregrine Falcon viewing platform manned by conservationist's that are keen to protect this beautiful bird of prey. Telescopes and binoculars enable one to see them nesting in adjacent cliff.

Plymbridge Woods Trails

Highlight • Forest

The Plym Valley Trail is a cycle route that runs from Dartmoor to Plymouth along the River Plym. It is part of the National Cycle Network Route 27 and the Devon Coast to Coast ride. It is also part of the Drake’s Trail, which follows the old South Devon & Tavistock Railway line. The trail is mostly traffic-free and runs through National Trust-owned woodland. It offers scenic views of the river, the moorland and the industrial heritage of the area. The trail leads past dramatic ruins, towering cliffs and impressive viaducts.

The trail is about 10 miles (16 km) long and can be accessed from various points along the way. You can start from Plym Bridge, where there is a car park and a visitor centre. You can also join the trail from Marsh Mills, Clearbrook or Yelverton. The trail ends at Laira Bridge in Plymouth, where you can continue along the waterfront or explore the city centre.

Cann Viaduct

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle trail passes over the River Plym by way of the Cann Viaduct. On the viaduct you will find a Peregrine Falcon viewing platform and its worth stopping here in spring and early summer. Opposite the platform is an old quarry where the Peregrines nest on ledges. There is a telescope mounted here so you can get a really good view of the nesting birds.

Outside of these times, a break in your ride is still recommended to look out for other wildlife that call Plym Woods home, such as woodpeckers and ravens.
