    A network of 21 miles (33 km) cycling and hiking paths, Drake's Trail leads from Tavistock to Plymouth. The Trail passes through quaint countryside, river valleys, peaceful woodland, and vast open moorland. The historic route also includes iconic engineering feats like the Grenofen Tunnel and Gem Bridge. A traffic-free trail, the path is suitable for most types of bikes, although some sections are gravel and slippery in the rain.

      Great cycle path avoiding some bigger roads. Mainly road bike suitable although has a very short section that is quiet rough gravel and slippy in the rain.

        The official website promotes the DRAKE'S TRAIL with the words, "Drake's Trail in West Devon is a 21-mile cycling and walking route linking Tavistock with Plymouth. This important part of Devon's recreational route network runs through superb countryside with attractive scenery along the western edge of Dartmoor, along with much historical and heritage interest."
