Walk Photo 201302
Caption - Cann viaduct is one of three viaducts on the walk. This is the point where our route leaves the canal towpath and climbs to the old railway track. The Plymouth to Tavistock railway opened in the early years of the 20th century and was closed as part of the infamous 'Beeching' cuts. The supports of an older bridge dating from the mid 1800s can be seen below the viaduct. The whole area of Cann Quarry is rich in historical remains and the National Trust have created excellent interpretation boards.

Location Map
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.
