My brother and I had a fantastic weekend canoeing ???? up the river Tamar with a lovely set of people, under the watch of our very knowledgeable & friendly guide - Jack. Setting off late Friday afternoon, we and a small group of people canoed to Cotehele - before setting up camp for the evening. We chose to sleep under tarps (though you could take a small tent too). The canoes easily carried all our equipment - though we soon realised that a cushion would have been a useful addition ;-) Next morning, we were up bright and early for a full morning canoeing up the Tamar. Simply stunning views in a serene setting with a lot of wildlife. Back to camp for some lunch followed by some bushcraft skills (very proud that we "made fire"). After tea we had another short paddle before settling down under the stars with the owls again. Sunday morning we packed up our kit and canoed back to where we first started, feeling very happy that we chose to go with SOS. Would most definitely recommend this trip and company - we had a fabulous time and look forward to trying one of their other offerings too.

Fabulous experience walking the alpacas plus lots of interactions feeding them and learning about them. Experience included a stop in a lodge with open fire, mulled wine and mince pies. A very special few hours indeed.

A newly opened visitor centre on the Devon side of the River Tamar is definitely worth a visit. Staffed by enthusiastic volunteers provides a wealth of information and history of both the railway and road bridges.

Beautiful Cornish house and grounds. Seasonal attractions and exhibits; The winter garland display in the main hall is an advent must see, the summer & autumn garden are well worth taking time to explore, especially in their special Apple & Cider making days amongst other events.

Free parking, well worth at least an hour to explore the quayside, small park, to admire the two bridges, local sculptures and to watch the local fishing boats. Information boards fill in the gaps, this is an historic place to visit.
