A circular walk through two tributary valleys of the River Tamar in a parish that was borrowed by Devon for 800 years, passing the remains of the wharf at the furthest reaches of the Bude Canal.

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.

Dogs

Dogs will need lifting over several of the stiles. Some stiles have exposed barbed wire. Lots of the route is on grazing land so likely to encounter both sheep and cows.

The walk is available through the iWalk Cornwall app for Apple and Android for £3.29 which each include everything listed here.

This removes worries about getting lost by tracking you using GPS, reminding you when you need to follow the next direction and warning you if you wander off the route.
