Variety of scenery including coast, farmland, river side paths, quiet lanes and pretty villages, to the town of Ivybridge....

No main road crossings and very good transport links from the rest of Devon...

There are many steps at Mountbatten Point, There is a ferry crossing involved from the Quay at Plymouth to Mountbatten point....

This route avoids my most signficant issue with the otherwise excellent plyivy two - minimising the section along the A38....

The path down to the cycle path at the end of Ridge Park Road in Plympton is narrow and steep with a big drop to the left. I do wonder if this might be the better route anyway - it's more direct and the road is quiet. The final section is along the cycle path by the A38. While it is a segregated cycle path, it is right beside the very fast moving traffic and is quite unpleasant as a walker - not exactly unsafe (although it would be very re-assuring if there was a barrier between the path and the road)....

At Montbatten point the path was closed from the ferry terminal in front of Mount Batten Hotel. If walking the opposite way from St Johns Road stay on Lawrence Road until you get to the ferry terminal - until the path re-opens!...

Explore the Plympton Coastline on the first corner, the hill hides a lot of great features....

Steven Pinkham

A nice safe route, mostly on pavements but some through the pleasant Devonport park. The ferry crossing is free for pedestrians....

Tim Ryan

This makes it a little less accesible than plyply two - walkers only I think. Overall, a great alternative to plyply two (which should probably be the canonical route)....

The route takes a direct route from Royal Parade down to The Barbican, and then across the Sutton Harbour pedestrian footbridge....

The route begins at the guild hall on Royal Parade , in the city centre. The current route diverts you through the pedestrianised city centre through the shops which is unnecessary, I would advise just walking up Royal Parade instead which would shave off 10 minutes....

Lara

A straight forward route which starts by unnecessarily taking you through a bit of the pedestrianised shopping area before doubling back and leading you through the picturesque Barbican, briefly onto the coastal path and through industrial Cattedown. You walk along busy main road from there until reaching the centre of Plymstock. All of which is well paved....

Pete C

The stretch from city centre to Devonport Park is a bit long and not like the most thrilling stretch you’ve ever experienced (I feel like the route passes like 6 parks before finally entering Devonport Park), but it’s perfectly adequate, direct, safe, and pleasant for a Slow Ways route....

Without adding much to the shortest route, this brings the pleasure of Ham Woods and Central Park to an otherwise urban yomp....

James Waghorn

Nice walk through suburban streets, a peaceful stretch through Ham Woods and then good use of Central Park. Exeter City fans be warned: this route goes right past Home Park's Devonport End! No obstructions and good access throughout....

Tim Carson

From yelverton it mostly uses the route of The Dartmoor Way, then picks up the Plym Trail and West Devon Way all of which are signed....

Tim Ryan

An easy and direct route, along paved paths for the entire route....

Fine to walk or cycle, just a fair bit of traffic. The path at the bottom end of Valletort Road gets slippery in the rain....

This route is scenic and easy to follow, until you get to Clearbrook....

Tom

As well as following the route of the old railway line there are options for more challenging and scenic detours through the woods either side of the main route....

MRABrown

The network of paths through Devonport Park could be a little confusing, and I did have to rely on Google Maps....

Tom

Walkers might head up North Hill and follow the A386 all the way to Roborough and once you're on the moor, pick up one of the many paths that head north across the moor to Yelverton...

GordonO

There are public toilets just past the Tamar Bridge near the toll booths, and on Central Park near the Life Centre. Traffic on the Tamar Bridge can get really busy at certain times, but there are cycle routes alongside the pedestrian footpath on the Bridge....

Tom

I travelled this route on foot and it was mostly flat and simple to traverse. The route passes through the Barbican, which has toilet facilities, bars and plenty of takeaways....
