Mountain biking
The cycle trail passes over the River Plym by way of the Cann Viaduct. On the viaduct you will find a Peregrine Falcon viewing platform and its worth stopping here in spring and early summer. Opposite the platform is an old quarry where the Peregrines nest on ledges. There is a telescope mounted here so you can get a really good view of the nesting birds.
Outside of these times, a break in your ride is still recommended to look out for other wildlife that call Plym Woods home, such as woodpeckers and ravens.

Now a foot and cycle path, this viaduct occupies a rather beautiful place over the River Plym. There are trails along the river, underneath the viaduct and, of course, across it so you can admire it from any angle you choose.
The viaduct is next to the former Cann Quarry which has very special residents: breeding peregrine falcons. As a result, the span is a great place to pause and see if you can spot these majestic birds.
