That’s just a flavour of what you can expect this autumn with Tamar Valley National Landscape’s FREE, welcoming, weekly walks, taking place every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday morning.
Each week, our qualified walk leaders will help you to discover new routes in the Tamar Valley and beyond, or revisit old favourites. Give your health a boost as the days shorten, by spending time in Nature, meeting new people, and enjoying a stroll in this beautiful protected landscape. Most walks include a coffee stop part way round or at the end, and many walkers agree that the social aspect of their walk gives them a real lift, in addition to the physical benefits.
The Saltash Walk & Talk group meet every Monday at 10:30am for two-hour walks. Choose from Churchtown Farm Nature Reserve, with great views across the rivers Tamar and Lynher, Antony Passage or Burrator. This group also explores the South West Coast Path, including walks around Fowey Estuary, Seaton Valley, Millendreath and Talland Bay.
On Wednesday mornings, you’ll find the Tamar Valley Walk & Talk group out and about. Join them to enjoy autumn colour in Luckett, Sydenham Damerel, Weir Quay, Calstock, Cotehele Quay, Buckland Monachorum and Cadsonbury. Don’t miss their new walk – Meavy Circular – on 13 November, a beautiful walk along footpaths through the woods to Burrator Dam then on to Yennadon Down.
Over the next three months, Tamar & Bere Wellbeing Walks will explore a number of local routes on both side of the river, including Weir Quay, Calstock, Bere Ferrers to Thorn Point, Harrowbarrow, Scrubtor, West Down and Double Waters (with stunning views over the Walkham and Tavy valleys), Greenscombe Woods, Magpie Bridge and Gunnislake riverside.
All walking programmes can be found here.
There’s no need to book, and you can join in with as many or as few as you would like. Please wear appropriate footwear and comfortable clothing. A walking stick is useful, too. Please also consider bringing a drink and snack, particularly for longer walks. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome (at walk leader’s discretion). All walkers participate at their own risk.
