So much to see in and around the Tamar Valley AONB.
Beautiful woodland around Gunnislake, Calstock, Cotehele & Gulworthy.
The River Tamar itself is perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming. Good launching spots from Morwellham, Calstock and Cotehele.
Calstock has a great pub - The Tamar Inn, an ice cream shop, a cafe and a playground for kids. There is also a train station for links to Bere Alston and Plymouth.
Across the river on the Devon side, Bere Alston and Bere Ferrers are pretty villages to visit.

A fast course which gives you a good tour of the whole sight. Remember to take coffee money with you as cafe is at the end and it’s a long walk back to the start
