Overview

A very gentle stroll that starts and ends by following the Plymouth leat, but makes a loop in the middle around the perimeter of Roborough Down. We take tracks across open grassy moorland and footpaths through bosky glades, with views of Sheepstor and the Dewerstone. Mostly firm underfoot, with just a few muddy patches.
