Overview

The Co-operative Way is a circular route,  just under 15 miles long, and takes in many of Plymouth's numerous green spaces. I shall be leading the walk in two parts.

This second part  will start by catching the 10.07am bus up to McDonalds, Crownhill. Then we will pick up the Co-op Way in William Prance Road. Then head into Bircham Valley Nature Reserve and come out into Blunts Lane. We will stop for coffee break part way down this old lane. Then to Forder Valley Woods and Austin Fort. Lunch break by the Fort. Down Military Lane and then  to Culver Way.  Cross over  to Hollycroft Woods, loop round these woods and come out into Compton. From there it is Thorn Park, Mutley Park and then to Central Park.

Toilets available at the Life Centre.

Option to go in to the Life Centre Cafe, for refreshments, at the end of the walk.
