Along the River Plym to Plym Bridge

 In the past I have always walked from the Coypool Park and Ride along the cycle track to Plym Bridge.  During the lockdown I found this was such a popular path with cyclists that it did not make a pleasant walk.  I therefore decided to explore the other side of the river and discovered you could walk all the way from Marsh Mills Roundabout up to Plym Bridge.  This is a much better walk.  It is along the river for much of the way, with a clear path above the waters edge. 



 It then goes through woods with roots making the path uneven and there is one tree trunk to climb over but it is not a major obstacle. The river is quite wide but not very deep at the moment.


The path comes to a bridge and on the other side you walk through meadows to Plym Bridge.



This morning I parked on the edge of the retail park and walked down the road to the river, just by the caravan park.  The wild garlic and bluebells are not yet out, but before long they will make the walk even prettier.  I did see a couple of native bluebells out in a sunny spot by Plym Bridge.

The walk from the industrial estate to Plym Bridge took about 30 minutes.
