Overview

From Denham Bridge we walk mostly lanes up the hill to a corner of the Moor. Coffee break at Berra Tor, unusually not made of granite. Lanes down to Hatch Mill, then along the fast-flowing Tavy past a salmon weir. Back down to where we started.

The lanes are lined with great patches of all sorts of wild flowers, which I will be pointing out. As we pass Ludbrook on the Tavy, an entire of meadow of pale blue spring squills is amazing.
