The Plymouth Route

Burrator Reservoir

Burrator Reservoir is about 10 miles outside of Plymouth and is in fact on the edge of Dartmoor, the views you will find when you get the there will make the trip well worth it!

The loop around the reservoir is 4 miles and is relatively flat. The route takes you along some quite narrow country lanes, it is likely you will encounter some traffic but there is plenty of room to let them past. You also need to watch out for horse riders and cyclists because the route is very popular for them as well.

If you want to get off road and add on some extra distance, there are plenty of entrances into the plantation on the banks of the reservoir - watch out though there are some boggy bits!

After your run you can refuel at the Burrator Inn (1 mile away) which serves good food - especially their Sunday lunch.

Plymouth Hoe

There are 3 variations on the loop around Plymouth Hoe, which can be done individually or combined to make a longer run. None of the loops are flat! However there really are some spectacular views that will make up for the hills.

All of the loops are on road so please take care when crossing roads there are pavements to run on all the way round the different loops.
