Walk 7 - Bere Ferrers to Lopwell Dam

Although it was a damp grey day, 34 people met at 10am to go on the walk. We caught the Tamar valley train from Plymouth to Bere Ferrers station. Bere Ferrers is a small village on the river Tavy. It was very pretty and quiet.

We walked along the river and up the lanes - it was steep and muddy!

The path took us through some woods that were full of bluebells.

We arrived at Lopwell dam and crossed the river using a narrow stone foot bridge, and had lunch at the old pump house café. It was delicious.The weather turned out to be sunny!

We walked about 5 miles and caught the train back to Plymouth.
