Top Tips

Plan your day: It’s worth planning roughly how long you think you’ll spend in each location, so you can match it up with the train times. Save or print a Tamar Valley Line timetable (handy in case mobile signal is patchy). It’s best to phone pubs in advance to check details haven’t changed, and to let them know if you’re with a large group. Large parties should also fill in Great Western Railway’s group travel form.

Buying your ticket: Get an Off-Peak Day Return ticket between Plymouth and Gunnislake (£6.70). This lets you hop on and off (as long as you continue in the same direction of travel). There’s no need to buy early (it’s the same price on the day). In a group? Ask for the GroupSave discount to get a third off.

Get your sheet stamped: Before you set off, print a stamp sheet for each member of your party. Get it stamped at each participating pub. With 10 stamps send off for your free T-shirt.

Take it easy: Each trail is intended to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace and not all in one day. Please drink responsibly and respect your fellow pub goers and pub staff.
