West Down and Double Waters
Estimated time 2 hours (ca. 3 miles)*
Starting at West Down, enjoying stunning views over both Wakham and Tavy valleys. The walk then heads upstream through delightful sessile oak woodland, passing the remains of old mine workings. A long, steady climb up through the trees at an easy pace returns us to West Down and the start point.
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
