Be aware that paths may be muddy and uneven and conditions may 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, especially on longer walks.
We like to have time for a cuppa afterwards, either at a local café, pub or at the Tamar Valley Centre, whichever is most convenient
The walk will follow the disused railway line along to Crowndale Viaduct. A path then drops down to the canal, through an old tunnel and under the canal and up to the towpath. We will then return to Tavistock along the canal, walking past historic Crowndale farm. Look out for the kingfisher and other water birds. Boots are recommended as the railway cutting as can be wet in one area. One very steep short climb up to the canal
