Now a foot and cycle path, this viaduct occupies a rather beautiful place over the River Plym. There are trails along the river, underneath the viaduct and, of course, across it so you can admire it from any angle you choose.

The viaduct is next to the former Cann Quarry which has very special residents: breeding peregrine falcons. As a result, the span is a great place to pause and see if you can spot these majestic birds.
