Plymbridge Woods cycle ride

Have fun with the family on this gentle 10 mile cycle ride along the route of an old Great Western Railway track from the outskirts of Plymouth to the edge of Dartmoor.

This trail follows the first ever Sustrans cycle path created over 40 years ago, now part of NCN 27.

It takes you from Plymbridge Woods up the valley, over rivers, across breathtaking viaducts and through a tunnel to Dewerstone Woods, then back again.

It's a lovely bike ride all year round, but in early summer offers the added bonus of close-up views of peregrines and their chicks nesting on a cliff in the Cann Quarry.
