Saltash Walk & Talk on Every Monday

Perched on the west bank of the River Tamar, Saltash is a charming town rich in history, beauty, and a welcoming community. Surrounded by scenic waterways and home to notable historic landmarks, it’s a visual delight. The town is graced by the iconic Royal Albert Bridge, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and opened in 1859, standing alongside the equally impressive Tamar Road Bridge, which opened in 1962.

Tamar Valley Walk & Talk Every Wednesday

Spanning the border between Devon and Cornwall, the Tamar Valley is renowned for its rich landscapes, historic charm, and diverse wildlife. Winding through the valley the River Tamar creates a scenic backdrop of wooded hills, rolling farmland, and tidal estuaries. The region is steeped in history, with remnants of its mining heritage seen in old engine houses and industrial relics, now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Tamar & Bere Wellbeing Walks Every Thursday

Walking is great for overall well-being, benefiting both the body and mind. Physically, it promotes cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and helps with weight management while being gentle on the joints. Mentally, walking can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by releasing endorphins. Join these walks to clear the mind and improve your health in the company of likeminded people.

Good to know...

All walkers participate at their own risk, so it’s important to be fully prepared for the walk. Conditions can vary, and routes may be muddy, so wearing appropriate footwear and comfortable clothing is essential. A walking stick can also be helpful. For longer walks, consider bringing a drink and a snack. Keep in mind that toilet facilities may not be available, and walks may be subject to change or cancellation. For the very latest information and information about how to join any of these walks, please visit the Tamar Valley National Landscape website on the button below.
