OUTDOORS AND ACTIVE
Out and About with Tavistock Ramblers A lovely 4½-mile walk (that can easily be shortened to 2¾ miles by just doing the first loop) down to the River Tamar, with John Noblet of Tavistock Ramblers. Follow the riverside path through woods and meadows with views across the river to Calstock and Cotehele and under the iconic railway viaduct. Park at Bere Alston station (SX440674). Good paths and tracks. Downhill to start but uphill coming back! 1. Walk away from the station building towards the lane and go sharp left up the concrete track, signed as a bridleway, that climbs alongside the
car park. Walk past houses on the right and a disused railway cutting on the left to reach a path junction. Continue straight ahead on a lesser path towards woodland. After passing under an old railway bridge there are good views across the Tamar Valley. 2. Turn left at a T-junction down another concrete track. Pass a house called Kingston and bear left, signed to Tuckermarsh Farm. Fork left onto a footpath into the woods. This very old
footpath descends gently downhill with a stream on the right. Ignore a footpath on the right to reach a tarmac lane at the bottom. 3. Continue ahead towards some palm trees and follow the footpath in front of the cottages. This is Tuckermarsh Quay, once a hive of activity on the River Tamar. There are views of Calstock on the Cornish side of the river and the impressive railway viaduct. Go through a gate, keeping alongside the river.
