A 5 mile climb from Yelverton!

This part of the trail can become very busy with walkers and cyclists, so forget your Strava split times unless you go early!

Public toilets available by the Park Visitor Centre

A good few 'dings' of a bell will alert walkers in the tunnel if on your bike! If you don't have a bell - a big old 'Woo Woooo' will carry down the tunnel as well!

Go early it gets busy

Go early it gets busy at the start of the ride

Very photogenic spot

Great viewing point across Dartmoor

Burrator Reservoir is a stunning reservoir in Dartmoor. It sits on the southern side, as it was built to supply water to the people of Plymouth. Here there is a lovely little unnamed water fall coming into the reservoir off the thick wooded western hillside. There is also a little bench seat here. A great break spot if you're doing a lakeside trail.

Picturesque and well worth including on a tour.

We rode this trail on a bank holiday Monday and it was surprisingly quiet - well worth including!

The bridge provides lovely views along the valley.

A few lights in the tunnel brighten things up, but there are a few spots where visibility can be a little low.

In June 2022, four of us cycled the entire Drake's Trail from Plymouth to Ilfracombe, spreading it out over three days. After stopping for tea and cakes at my brother in-law's near Yelverton, we headed into the Grenofen tunnel. As already mentioned here, it is only dimly lit and it is surprisingly chilly, the temperature contrast being even more noticeable on a warm day, and the ceiling is constantly dripping icy water! Definitely need your lights on and cycle very cautiously as pedestrians and other cyclists are often tricky to spot in the gloom! We stopped for the first night in Oakhampton, the second in Barnstable and the third in Ilfracombe before cycling back to Barnstable on the last day to get the train back to Exeter. It was a very pleasant tour and the first section as far as Tavistock follows the course of the old railway, so is off road and generally a gentle slope upwards, but after that the route sometimes takes to the road and is often steep and often quite narrow. Surface wise it is good all the way, suitable for road and off road bikes.

The River Plym, meandering through the southwest of England, showcases scenic beauty and diverse ecosystems. Its journey through Dartmoor National Park and the city of Plymouth offers a mix of picturesque landscapes and urban charm.

Turn your lights on!

South Hessary Tor is a small rocky outcrop down the track south of Princetown. It stands at 450 m high and offers good views down Hart Tor Brook towards Leeden Tor and north over Princetown to the mast on higher North Hessary Tor.

The amphitheater in Saltram Park offers a beautiful panorama of the surrounding nature, such as the River Plym, the estuary and the forests. You can enjoy this view from the seats of the amphitheater or from a higher point in the park

Saltram's intriguing amphitheater was built in the mid-18th century and overlooks the River Plym. It is so distinctive that you can see it from the train from Exeter to Plymouth as you travel past it. See the faces carved into the top of each arch and imagine what it would have been like to attend one of the owner's grand soirees hundreds of years ago.
