The Tamar
valley contains a rich variety of natural landscape and the
heritage of tin, copper and arsenic mining. The Victorian port
at Morwellham
Quay offers a glimpse of life in the valley during the industrial
heyday of the nineteenth century. Plymouth
with its busy Naval dockyard, historic Barbican,
ferry port, shopping centre, Theatre
Royal, cinemas and leisure facilities, is only a short drive
away, or can be reached by bus from Callington, or by train from
Gunnislake
on one of the most scenic railway lines in England. |
