One of the best ways to spend time on two wheels in this area is to cycle some (or all if you’re feeling energetic) of the Plym Valley Trail, which forms part of the 97 mile Devon Coast to Coast route. The trail is traffic-free, following a disused railway line from Plymouth to the edge of Dartmoor. The starting point is at Saltram House, an imposing Georgian Mansion; you’ll be riding through some gorgeous National Trust woodland.
