No visit to Devon and Cornwall is complete without hitting the water and there is a watery adventure to suit every appetite across the vast Tamar Valley. For a more relaxing day out, the rivers that criss cross the Valley offer loads of opportunity for serene waterside walks and picnics, taking in the scenery and unique wildlife.  Thrill seekers can get their fix at one of the many activity centres and country parks and lakes dotted across the region.  Try your hand at everything from wakeboarding, kayaking, canoeing, windsurfing, stand up paddle boarding and so much more.
