Walk Photo 201501
Caption - Leighbeer Tunnel - This tunnel has not been in use since the 'Beeching' cuts. The track bed now forms part of the Plym Valley cycle track created by 'Sustrans'. Since 1999 the tunnel has a concrete base and lights every 100 feet - but take a torch in case the power fails, as the tunnel has a bend in it so that the entrances cannot be seen from the mid point.

Devon
The County of Devon offers a wide range of walking. With two lengthy sections of coastal path along the north and south coasts the variety of walking on offer is hard to match anywhere in the British Isles. Add to this the wild moors of the Dartmoor National Park with the highest land in southern England and you soon realise why Devon has such a high reputation among walkers. Elsewhere there are many pretty villages to explore as well as vast tracts of rural farmland with a patchwork of fields surrounded by hedgerows.
