About us

Venturing out from Plymouth, either by continuing on your bike on the Plym Valley or joining the track at Yelverton, the Drake’s Trail continues the off-road path to Tavistock. This is an attractive family route which will see you riding through wooded river valleys and across open moorland – getting close to wildlife including Dartmoor ponies.

New sections of the trail include the Gem Bridge and the Grenofen Tunnel.

As well as providing a lovely day out, this trail is a key link of national and international cycle routes.
