Plymouth to Ivybridge
A station-to-station walkDevonSouth West England
Quite delightful. A delightful, longer alternative that uses the Mountbatten Ferry then follows the coast path and the Erme Plym Trail through varied scenery - coast, farmland, riverside paths, quiet lanes and pretty villages. Mostly footpaths and very quiet lanes (or with a pavement), hilly in places and with many steps at Mountbatten Point and some muddy footpaths after heavy rain. Involves the Mountbatten Ferry from Plymouth Barbican (about every 30 minutes). Follows the coast path and the Erme Plym Trail. Good transport links from the rest of Devon.
Lunch: Pubs at Brixton and Yealmpton, with a cafe at Yealmpton.
Warnings: Many steep steps at Mountbatten Point. Some footpaths were muddy after days of heavy rain. A long road section between Yelmbridge and Burraton, though quiet or pavemented.
