We are the Plymouth Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Rapidly down from the estate to a track high on the steep-sided Plym Valley. Tracks and paths, mostly easy underfoot and horizontal, with cross links taking us up and down the valley side. Includes sections on the old Dartmoor tramway, the river bank, the old railway line/cycle path and the Cann Quarry canal along which a kingfisher was followed on my recent recce. This was a heavily used industrial area; now mostly National Trust and delightfully wooded.
Darklake Lane. From the A386 Tavistock Road, exit onto Woolwell Road (by Tescos). Turn right at the next roundabout, continue past school and shops to another roundabout. Turn left, pass a care centre and immediately up a narrow lane (Darklake Lane). The CP lies between the shops and the Woolwell Centre where post walk tea and cakes are available.
