Free weekly walks in the Tamar Valley this Spring
Where in the Tamar Valley will you explore this Spring?
Join our FREE weekly walks
Tamar Valley National Landscape’s latest walking programmes for April – June are ready to view and download, to help you plan your time and choose your favourite routes.
Free walks take place every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and offer the chance to explore areas of Tamar Valley National Landscape you may not be familiar with, led by qualified walk leaders. Spend time in Nature as green shoots emerge and blossom bursts open, boost your wellbeing, and enjoy the landscape that we work so hard to conserve and enhance.
The Tamar Valley, just one of 46 National Landscapes throughout the UK, offers scenic woodland, breathtaking river views and rich mining heritage.
The Saltash Walk & Talk group meet every Monday at 10:30am for two-hour walks. Choose from Antony Passage, Cargreen or Wacker Quay, or discover more about the Railways and Castles around the Saltash area. This group also explores the South West Coast Path, including walks around the Tregantle Fort area, Millendreath, Maker Church and Noss Mayo.
On Wednesday mornings, the Tamar Valley Walk & Talk group offer walks around the Tamar Trails, Hingston Down, Cotehele Quay, Luckett and Stoke Climsland. They will also lead walks a bit further afield, including Burrator Reservoir and Sheepstor Foothills, Whitchurch Down and Magpie Bridge. New walks this season take place on 9 April (a circular walk across moorland from Minions to Tregarrick Tor) and 18 June (Buckland Monachorum and Crapstone).
Over the next three months, Tamar & Bere Wellbeing Walks will explore a number of local routes every Thursday morning, ranging from 1.4 to 4 miles, including Bere Ferrers to Thorn Point, Morwellham, Cadsonbury Fort and West Down and Double Waters. A new 4-mile walk from Lopwell Dam takes place on 19 June.
No need to book, join in with as many or as few as you would like. These walks are a great way to meet new people and benefit health and wellbeing. 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.
