The walk is in a pair of river valleys that feed tributaries of the Tamar. The route follows footpaths across the farmland that was once part of the manor of Werrington. The return route is via Crossgate which has a bridge over the River Tamar into Devon, but we stay safely on Cornish soil and return via Werrington church.

Highlights

  • Peaceful countryside in the Tamar Valley
  • Off the beaten track so good for wildlife
  • Remains of the furthest reaches of the Bude Canal

Considerations

  • The start of the path from direction 20 can get overgrown with nettles so take along a stick or pole to clear them. If you have secateurs, take these along to snip away any encroaching vegetation from the stiles.
