Strolls & Rolls routes open up access within Tamar Valley National Landscape
Accessing Tamar Valley National Landscape has just got a lot easier, thanks to a series of stile-free walks that provide access to some of the most scenic parts of the Tamar Valley.

Many of the graded routes – between ½ mile and 4½ miles in length – are suitable for assisted wheelchairs, all-terrain pushchairs and mobility scooters. They provide access to wildlife-rich wetlands, a community nature reserve, country park with fantastic 360° views, forest and old mine working tracks, canal and an area of tranquillity right next to the River Lynher.
The Strolls & Rolls routes will help people explore the following areas;
- Kit Hill
- Calstock
- Cotehele
- Tavistock Canal
- Tamar Trails, Gulworthy
- Churchtown Farm, Saltash
- Wacker Quay, near Antony
To help plan your visit, Tamar Valley National Landscape has created a series of pdfs and videos, showing and describing the route (with links to an OS map), together with information on parking, nearby cafes, pubs and other facilities, and, where possible, public transport links. View and download the pdfs here, or watch the videos here.
The seven Strolls & Rolls routes were assessed and the guides produced thanks to additional ‘Access for All: Removing Barriers in Protected Landscapes’ grant funding from Defra, secured by Tamar Valley National Landscape.
Project Officer for Tamar Valley National Landscape, Jane Hart, says: “We want more people to be able to enjoy healthy outdoor activities, and to improve their connections with nature and heritage in the Tamar Valley. Our easy access, stile-free routes are just one way that we’re helping to achieve that.”
