Hire bikes for Family Cycle Trail from Plympton
10 miles through Plymbridge Woods
Have fun with the family on this cycle ride which follows the route of an old Great Western Railway track from Coypool towards Tavistock. From the edge of Plymouth, you cycle straight into glorious oak woodland before emerging out into open countryside. The trail leads you past dramatic industrial remains, including towering quarryfaces and across breathtaking viaducts. You’ll get the chance for close-upviews of nesting wild peregrines (in season, ravens and a taste of invigoratingmoorland fresh air all year round.
Route
Approx. 10 miles (out and back) along a well surfaced, nearly level disused railway track. Can be muddy after wet weather so take care when walking near waterways and the River Plym. Be aware that the Leighbeer Tunnel is dimly lit and a torch or bike lights will be handy even in the middle of the day! A variety of other paths offer shorter walks without your bicycle.
