The Tamar Valley Line runs for 15 miles across the River Tavy and alongside the River Tamar that forms the border between the counties of Devon and Cornwall. The Tamar Valley is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

Some walks are circular, some are linear but all allow you to explore the Tamar Valley at your own pace. All walks are mapped on OS Map Explorer 109 Plymouth and the Tamar Valley 1:25 000 scale, and it is recommended this be used in addition to the directions given in the links below.

• You will find the Ordnance Survey Explorer Map 108 (Lower Tamar Valley & Plymouth) useful.
• Wear sturdy walking shoes and suitable clothing.
• On occasions short term work may mean diversions are put in place. Please follow local signage if necessary.
• Please remember all public rights of way cross private land and keep to paths.
