Plympton Castle figure of 8

This route uses quiet roads and on road cycle paths. Occasionally we will pull in to let cars overtake. The route follows a figure of eight across Laira Bridge and is urban but also scenic as it rides through some green spaces and across the beautiful Plymouth Sound. There is a 17% hill out of Plympton which can be walked as we wait at the top for everyone.

A ride into old Plympton St Maurice to look at the Castle. On to Sherford and across Plymstock to Oreston for a coffee? Across the Laira Bridge and into Beaumont Park along the NCN2. Across the University Campus we cycle along the NRW towards the Naval Hospital. We return along The Hoe Sea front before getting back across Laira Bridge and returning through Saltram.
