Tamar Trails Easter trail

Tamar Trails near Tavistock has two trails this year – one is properly adventurous with lookout points, walk ways and very steep steps. The other is gentle, short and better suited to off road buggies and toddlers.

The trails cost £2 per child and run from 2 until 18 April.

Booking online is essential to help manage social distancing and numbers in the car park.
