Overview

This walk starts from the car park at Bedford Bridge, often called Magpie Bridge, on the A386 between Tavistock and Horrabridge. The route climbs steeply up to the Drakes cycle trail and follows it, going over the spectacular Gem Bridge. It then descends through the woods to Grenofen Bridge, returning to the cars on a path along the river and through the woods. This walk may be muddy and is very uneven in places but worth it for the beautiful riverside.

Be aware that paths may be muddy and uneven and conditions can change, so wear appropriate footwear and comfortable clothing. A walking stick is useful too. Also consider bringing a drink and snack, should you require it, particularly for longer walks.

 

We like to have time for a cuppa afterwards, either in a local cafe or at the Tamar Valley Centre near Gunnislake – whichever is the most convenient.
