We are the Tavistock Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We’ll start from Meldon Quarry car park with a gradual climb alongside Red-a-ven Brook. We’ll then head towards Black Tor and descend to the northern end of Black-a-Tor Copse before returning via Vellake Corner alongside Meldon Reservoir. Some narrow rocky paths as we head up alongside the brook and steepish downhill at Black Tor. Beautiful scenery and good views if the weather is kind! Note 9.30 start.
Book by text to walk leader.
The walk mostly follows tracks and paths with a gradual climb followed by a fairly steep descent down from Black Tor to the West Okement river. We will stop for a coffee break.
Start point Meldon Quarry car park (not Meldon Reservoir car park). Road to car park is opposite Betty Cottles Inn. See grid reference.
