A Boot Up The Tamar Valley

From its source on the moors close to the north Cornish coast, the River Tamar runs 50 miles before emptying into the sea at Plymouth Sound. All along its route is an abundance of beautiful scenery and a rich variety of human and natural history.

The ten walks in this Book invite you to explore the Tamar Valley along the tidal reaches in the south and also excursions in the higher parts of the Valley to see ancient churches and farms and places rich in wildflowers and birdsong.

The walks cover:

LANDULPHTO CARGREEN • BERE FERRERS & WEIR QUAY • BERE ALSTON & THE RIVER • MORWELLHAM • BRADSTONE TO GREYSTONE BRIDGE • WERRINGTON • BOYTON • TETCOTT AND LUFFINCOTT • TAMAR LAKES & THE BUDE CANAL • SOURCE OF THE TAMAR

Distances vary but none is more than five miles long and each walk is designed for those who enjoy a leisurely amble and who like to stop to quietly enjoy the beauty and history of this special Valley.
