City Slickers Ride

We leave Coypool and head along the noisey embankment and its view over to Saltram. We climb up onto the seagull bridge and take a quiet route through to Exeter Street. As we enter the city centre we stop and look at "The Box" and see some new features being built. We then go through the university campus and head through Stonehouse looking at its new art zone and some historic areas. We then make our way into the RWY and its many coffee shops.
Leaving this area we continue to Central Park and maybe stop for coffee.
When we leave Central Park we look at Pounds house and then continue to Manadon Roundabout by cyclepath. We then head back via Higher Compton and the Efford Pathway which runs beside Efford Cemetary. We then descend carefully down a rough track by the donkey park to Marsh Mills and finish

NCN 2 is a less used urban cyclepath that takes us inland through the university and out to the Royal William Yard. We will return through the new Stoke village Central park cyclepath and onto the Efford Pathway before returning to Marsh Mills.

The cyclepath is well signposted but is crossed by many major roads so care must be taken We will take our time on this cyclepath that often uses pavements and has many entry and exit hazards eg along Exeter Street.

There are numerous coffee stops and places of interest

Helmet pump inner tube waterproof and money are all advisable

First-timers welcome!
