TWW 24th January 2017
Goodness me! So many new places to go and right on our doorstep. The Rifle Volunteer was a great place to start before heading down, down, down and then down a bit. To seek out the amazing Danescombe where the Danes had come. So many interesting relics of times gone by. Times when the Tamar valley was a hive of industry. And onward past the mines where people delight in the opportunity to spend a few days in an Arsenic Mine! - you couldn't make it up. Then to the wonderful Tamar and the busy road into Calstock. To chat with a weaver, quietly blending local colours into wonderful rugs. The quay provided a nice spot for a cuppa gazing across the river. Then, surprise, surprise, up, up, up and a bit more up again wending our way by Albaston. Popping over the road provided a further opportunity for a bit of up, up, up to Hingston Down with the amazing mine. To the Rifle Volunteer for a sensible lunch for most and absolutely outrageous pies for others.
