Such a lovely day after the terrible rains last week, so we headed 12 miles away from Plymouth across the Tamar Bridge into Cornwall. First of all we found a signpost to Halton Quay which is a wild life sanctuary on the banks of the River Tamar. I have included a map on the area at the end of this blog.
Then onto Cotehele Quay, a National Trust property. From here you can walk to Calstock beside the river through the woods.
There is a potter who displays her goods half way to Calstock and we cannot resist making some purchases!
The path back along the track in the woods is steep, but we return to Cotehele Quay and below are pictures of it.
A lovely sunny day, ideal for a brisk walk on a sunday afternoon.

It could be summer - rait grand to see blue skies.
ReplyDeleteThe viaduct photos are a lovely mix of nature and man-made.
