A NEW footpath through the Tamar Valley is now open to the public, providing a scenic link between Plymouth and Cornwall's rugged north coast.
The Tamara Coast to Coast Way, devised by the Tamara Landscape Partnership Scheme with funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, is being launched at a special event in Bere Ferrers today, with walkers and key stakeholders taking their first steps on the 87-mile route.
The projected seven-day walk broadly follows the River Tamar, the historic boundary between Devon and Cornwall, from sea to source, before continuing on to Cornwall's north coast. It begins at Cremyll, overlooking Plymouth Sound, and finishes at Marsland Mouth, near Morwenstow.
Linking the two coasts has also created a new 387-mile circular walking route around the border of Cornwall, Kylgh Kernow (Cornish for Circuit of Cornwall).
Highlights of the Tamara Coast to Coast Way include unspoilt rivervalley landscapes in the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and the Cornwall and West Devon Mining World Heritage Site.
