The centre of Yealmpton is dominated by the main road which carries a constant stream of traffic and splits the higher part of the village from the lower southern side.

End of the Line, Chittleburn

Proposals, by Sustrans, over recent years have been for the 'redevelopment' of the Plymouth to Yealmpton/Modbury railway line as a cycle path, in order to link up with the National Network; unfortunately only sections have so far been redeveloped - this section, having commenced at Elburton, terminating shortly after crossing a newly re-constructed bridge at Chittleburn, close to Brixton.

Mudflats, River Yealm

To the south of Kitley, the River Yealm disgorges out into a broad area of tidal mudflats, which is a haven for birdlife - a white egret being seen to left of centre.

Kissing Gate, Plymouth - Yealmpton railway

Now lost in the woods, lying between the River Yealm and the course of Plymouth -Yealmpton railway line, this kissing gate reflects on past times, when there was a railway and people needed to cross it.
