Beschreibung
At it's southern end it is wooded with mostly broadleaf trees that follow a cyclepath/footpath, adjacent there is also conifer plantations to the east that rise up to moorland. The main path is built on an old railway that gradually rises up passing viaducts and a tunnel that brings you to moorland further north, whilst at first it looks like only common species are present, there are some more unusual birds to be found. As well as wooded areas, eventually further north it opens up to grassland, also the River Plym runs through the valley. There are numerous paths throughout the valley that gives the watcher a choice to go off map and do their own circuit.
