Overview

We will catch the 8.24 train from Plymouth to Gunnislake.  We then walk back to Bere Ferrers, where we catch the 15.45 train back to Plymouth.  There is about 1800ft of ascent.  We walk high above the River Tamar at the start with excellent views.  We walk through Morwellham quay (toilets and ice cream!) and then along quiet lanes to Hole wood and down to Bere Ferrers on the River Tavy.  We will need to keep up a good pace to catch the train - the next one is 2 hours later.
