Today we cycled the Plym Valley trail – now part of the larger Drake’s trail. It’s been some years since we did this, now wondering why it took us so long to go back. Such a lovely cycle, along the disused railway line. We started on Dartmoor,
Joined the cycle route, which took us through Shaugh Tunnel
under several bridges, and through impressive cuttings
past abandoned platforms
and ruined cottages (nice place for a picnic lunch)
and, best of all, over four viaducts….
… complete with amazing views
We cycled under the dual carriageway and alongside the river on the Saltram Estate, and into Plymouth, a fairly gentle 8.75 miles, and it was lovely, and we are looking forward to doing it all over again.

amazing views indeed, thanks for sharing them. it’s a shame about the railway lines closing, but they certainly make great cycle paths.
