The Plym Valley Way - Saltram House to Clearbrook
12 mile route. Rating: easy

The Plym Valley Way follows the course of the old Great Western Railway line through tunnels and across viaducts. Most of this cycle way is off road - following the abandoned railway line, there is a slight incline, but nothing too taxing. Stunning views, historic woodlands, Isambard Kingdom Brunel's curved Shaugh Tunnel and a return journey that's nearly all down hill. Click here for details

Burrator Reservoir
4 mile circular route. Rating: easy - mostly level

A very easy and mostly level route around Burrator Reservoir. Stunning views across the reservoir to open moorland, many footpaths to explore. Dramatic overflows from the tops of the dam after periods of wet weather and vibrant displays of rhododendrons and azaleas . Click here for details
