A circular walk via the quays, woods, engine house and mills of the Cotehele Estate where by Georgian times the house had become a tourist attraction because it was so antiquated, and has changed little since.

A figure-of-eight walk from St Dominic along the wooded valley to the quays of Bohetherick and Cotehele, where limestone and coal were continuously fed into kilns to produce lime for the market gardens in the Tamar Valley.

A circular walk in the Tamar Valley at Gunnislake where Victorian canal systems, engine houses and tramways have been recolonised by nature and kingfishers rather than barges now journey up and down the river.
