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!

Bellever Tor is a hill near Postbridge in Dartmoor. It feels a bit like something from Lord of the Rings...

Go early it gets busy at the start of the ride

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.

stunning views with a minimal hill to walk up!

Turn your lights on!

Superb views of Dartmoor - highly recommended.

The Plym Valley Trail is a cycle route that runs from Dartmoor to Plymouth along the River Plym. It is part of the National Cycle Network Route 27 and the Devon Coast to Coast ride. It is also part of the Drake’s Trail, which follows the old South Devon & Tavistock Railway line. The trail is mostly traffic-free and runs through National Trust-owned woodland. It offers scenic views of the river, the moorland and the industrial heritage of the area. The trail leads past dramatic ruins, towering cliffs and impressive viaducts. The trail is about 10 miles (16 km) long and can be accessed from various points along the way. You can start from Plym Bridge, where there is a car park and a visitor centre. You can also join the trail from Marsh Mills, Clearbrook or Yelverton. The trail ends at Laira Bridge in Plymouth, where you can continue along the waterfront or explore the city centre.
