Between number 1 and 2 the path can be very muddy and boots will be required most times throughout the year.
cross the stile and follow the track across the field. After the second gateway you have a fine view of the Tamar Valley with the Cornish village of Cargreen directly ahead. Follow the fence down towards the
estuary.
Although NOT part of this walk the following detour may be of interest.
At the bottom of the slope the path turns right, but before taking it,
cross the stile onto the marshes, bear left and walk to Thorn Point which can be very muddy. At Thorn Point there used to be a ferry and the ‘hard’ where the ferries landed is still visible. It is difficult to imagine that this was once a very important crossing point
on the river.
Fresh Cornish produce, including strawberries and flowers, were brought to Cargreen, ferried to Thorn Point and then carried along the path you have just followed, up to Bere Ferrers station where it was rushed by train to markets in London.
