Plymouth Trails App
The free Plymouth Trails app is a great way to explore the city with lots of easy-to-follow trails. The app is also packed with information and cool features, including selfie frames and the ability to overlay video and images onto the landscape in front of you for a real ‘then and now’ snapshot of the city.
There are three main trails, which were created for the app and all have audio options too:
- Mayflower Trail: Following a circular route around the Barbican, see the buildings and meet the people that shaped the city in 1620, when the Mayflower ship and its passengers set sail for America.
- City Centre Trail: Discover a different side to our imposing post-war architecture in the city centre and learn more about how the city was rebuilt following the Blitz during World War II
- Plymouth Hoe Trail: Enjoy a bracing walk along the coast as you delve into Plymouth’s maritime history, taking in key landmarks such as Tinside Lido and Smeaton’s Tower.
The Barbican to the Hoe
The historic Barbican and Sutton Harbour are the heart of the city's heritage with the oldest buildings and the greatest number of historical stories. The Hoe is a breath-taking parorama with unbeatable views across Plymouth Sound. It's where you can find the iconic Smeaton's Tower lighthouse, the glorious Tinside Lido and impressive 17th century Royal Citadel.
You cannot beat the walk from the Barbican across the Hoe and back. Wherever you turn you'll see stunning scenery and iconic insta worthy shots.
Burrator Reservoir
Undisturbed Burrator is surrounded by mixed woodland which sharply contrasts with the open moor and rugged Dartmoor tors.
The reservoir is popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders due to its wealth of footpaths and bridleways. Many of the trails lead on to Dartmoor so it makes an ideal starting point for longer trips.
The circular walk which follows the lanes around the water is ideal for families as it is easy going and flat. It will take between 1.5 - 2 hours to complete and is approximately 3.5 miles.
Dartmoor National Park
A wonderful and exhilarating place, Dartmoor’s 386 square miles has so many options for getting active. Explore the highest tors or tackle the steepest hills on foot as you take it the scenery and come across the wild ponies grazing across the terrain. If your handy with a camera, this is the place to grab a stunning image.
