[2] The woods are named after the historic Plymbridge, a Grade II listed bridge over the River Plym.

It is made from Killas rubble with five semi-circular arches having parapets with chamfered granite coping stones.

[3] A number of tram and railway lines were constructed to transport granite and slate between Dartmoor and Plymouth.

The last line to be built was the South Devon and Tavistock Railway upon which Isambard Kingdom Brunel worked.

[4] The site is home to many species typical of English woodland, including a herd of fallow deer.
