Tamar Valley Discovery Trail
A walking route along the valley of the River Tamar from Tamerton Foliot to Launceston, through Bere Ferrers, Bere Alston, Gunnislake and Milton Abbot.
A walking route along the valley of the River Tamar through Bere Ferrers, Bere Alston, Gunnislake and Milton Abbot. It crosses two rivers: at Lopwell Dam (by foot) and Calstock (by train).
Tides. The river crossing at Lopwell cannot be made within two hours either side of high tide – check tide tables.
Calstock. The ferry service between Ferry Farm and Calstock no longer operates and the only way to cross the river at this point is by train between Bere Alston and Calstock.
Variants. The LDWA lists alternative waymarked routes: a short seasonal route along the Tavy estuary (February to September), a route round the Bere Peninsula with views from Thorn Point, a link from Luckett to Kit Hill, and an option from Milton Abbot to Lifton using field paths. From Lifton the Two Castles Trail can be followed west to Launceston or east to Okehampton.
The Discovery Trail can be linked with the West Devon Way and Two Castles Trail to form a circuit of approximately 90 miles, dubbed the ‘West Devon Triangle’.
