Overview

A circular walk around the Bere Peninsula from Bere Ferrers Railway Station, along Tavy bank, up a narrow wooded valley, across the top on hedged lanes to a lunch spot on a grass-covered knoll of old mine spoil.  Good views across the Tamar as we follow a ridge-line track back along and down to a final lane back to the station for a possible cream tea in the old railway carriages.
