Overview

Join me for a picturesque riverside walk along the River Tamar from Gunnislake to Calstock and back.  Mostly flat with one or two steep climbs either side of Calstock. There will be an opportunity to stop at Tamar Valley Garden Centre for coffee (and scones) en route.  Our return from Calstock mostly re-traces the outward route. Could be muddy in places. Quiet roads and riverside paths.
