Overview

A circular walk incorporating a river scramble along potentially muddy riverside paths to the beautiful Double waters where the Rivers Walkham and Tavy meet ,and a climb to view the river from above with views to Dartmoor beyond. Bridges and rocky paths to explore on this one and a lot of river action but probably a bit too much of a challenge for KS1. (Please ask!) We'll have plenty of stops to play ,picnic and admire the views en route.
