Self Guided Walks Please Read These NOTES Before Downloading and Setting Off to Do a Walk Self Guided Walks Please read these NOTES before downloading and setting off to do a walk. 9 1 4 2 6 5 19 7 15 8 3 10 16 14 17 20 18 Calstock 13 12 11 When you go on a Tavistock Ramblers walk a few days beforehand the walk leader will have checked to make sure there are no problems and the route is safe. It must therefore be appreciated that in undertaking any of these self guided walks that you agree to be entirely responsible for your own safety. Should you encounter a problem that others need be aware of please contact the footpath officer. All the walks are circular that is to say they all start and end at the same place and all are leisurely to moderate . None of the walks are more than 8 miles and most between 4 and 6 and can be done in 2 to 4 hours but take your time enjoy the views. Be a sensible walker and check the weather forecast before setting off. Sometimes it can be quite clear in Tavistock but with thick mist on the moors. Do not set off on Dartmoor if the weather is on the change. Wear suitable foot wear, flip flops and sandals can be a bit challenging and even dangerous. If you want to take your dog do check the walk first to make sure it is suitable. The walks are designed to be followed on a smart phone, android or iphone. Before setting off make sure you have a fully charged battery. All the walks are now in the new PDF format which you will find is much easier to use just tap on it and it will download to your smart phone and retrieve it from your download folder when you set off. You have full control moving the screen up and down and zooming in and out as required. It is suggested that you check out the whole walk before you set off to make sure its one you can do. Particularly important if you are new to the area. You could also follow the route with your finger using the OS map (eg OS explorer 2½ inches to the mile O L28 for the Dartmoor walks ). 1 Wheal Jewell The walk starts close to the Mary Tavy primary school 5 miles North of Tavistock. Its about 6 miles of well worn paths, tracks and a bit on a minor road. In the Summer look out for the wonderful ferns next to the leat between Hillbridge and Horndon. The walk takes you to the Wheal Jewell reservoir which is basically the header tank for the hydro-electric power station in Mary Tavy and possibly the thinnest reservoir in the UK. You will pass very close to The Elephants Nest pub which has an excellent beer garden. 2 Peter Tavy to Mary Tavy via Cox Tor The 6 mile walk starts in Peter Tavy and takes you up the Combe past the now disused swimming pool and on to edge of Cox tor before heading back down hill to Mary Tavy via Harford Bridge. It’s a walk for views so choose a blue sky day or at least one that isn’t misty and you won’t be disappointed. Start from the church in Peter Tavy. 3 Burrator View This is only a short walk just a little over 3 miles but does have a very splendid view of the reservoir and surrounding hills. Perhaps a walk to be attempted on a summer evening. The walk starts at Lowery Cross car park which is the one above the Discovery Centre and takes you into a pine wood and over a ladder stile on to the open moor. For those interested in geology you will not fail to spot the small tor you pass is of granite but none of the other rocks are. Having indulged in the view of Burrator you will then head back down hill passing Leather tor, through a wood, along a leat and then back to your car via a very short section of the old railway track. 4 Gibbet Hill This walk is 7.3 miles long unless you do a short cut and miss walking up Gibbet Hill. You start on the very outskirts of Mary Tavy and walk to Brentor but not up to the church instead we walk up Gibbet Hill where in days gone by hangings took place. It’s mostly footpaths with a bit of road and a bit of open moor walking. 5 Merrivale and the Upper Walkham Valley 7 miles of very easy walking going down the upper Walkham valley starting at Merrivale and visiting Hucken tor, King tor, Pew tor and passing by Heckwood tor and Vixen tor. On the way you will walk on an old railway track, quarrymens tracks and go over the Grimstone and Sortridge leat. You start close to the Dartmoor Inn at Merrivale half way between Tavistock and Princetown. 6 Cox tor circuit This is a short walk of just over 4 miles that can be shortened to 3 miles and takes you around Cox tor starting at the car park on the top of Pork Hill. It is a leisurely easy walk and being high up has some splendid views. The short cut misses out Merrivale quarry and an aqueduct 7 Double Waters long and short The best bit about this one is the walk through the oak wood next to the river Walkham, having visited a most picturesque beauty spot where the Tavy joins with the Walkham known as Double Waters. Look out for the evidence of past mining activity in the wood where you will finds leats, a chimney, derelict buildings and wheel pit if you look hard enough. You can either start from the big lay-by off the A386 on the southern side of Tavistock for a 6 mile walk and go via the cycle track and tunnel or start at Grenofen bridge for a 3 mile walk. 8 Four Bridges On this walk you will pass over the bridge in the village of Horrabridge, and the ancient bridge at Grenofen that once was the road between Tavistock and Buckland Monachorum. You will go under Gem bridge that was built just for cyclists and walkers and Magpie bridge viaduct built to carry trains. Its about 6 miles but there are shortcuts you can take. Start in the middle of Horrabridge. 9 The Irishman’s wall walk This walk starts at Okehampton railway station that is opening up to a daily service to Exeter in summer 2021. Its about 7 miles but half of it is down hill. The walk takes you to Belstone and back via the Irishman’s wall and Cullever steps. It’s a steep climb up next to the wall but the views are worth it as is also the delightful walk up through the wood by the East Okement river to get there. 10 Burrator to Drivage Bottom Drive around Burrator reservoir and park at Norsworthy bridge where the walk starts from. There is a bit of open moor walking but this 6 mile walk is mostly on very old cart tracks. The walk takes you out nearly to Nun’s cross and then back via Devonport Leat. You will see a Bronze age village, tin streaming at Drivage Bottom and the legendary Crazywell pool. 11 Dewerstone Rock Park at Cadover bridge and following the pipe track by the river Plym to Shaugh bridge and then back, having climbed Dewerstone tor, via the open moor for a 4.5 mile circular walk. Reward yourself with an ice cream from the van that parks at Cadover bridge. Splendid views and a bit of industrial archaeology on the way. 12 Tamar Tracks and Trains Starting from the quay at Bere Ferrers near the Plough Inn this 7 mile walk takes you all around the southern tip of the Bere Peninsular visiting on the way various farms lots of tracks and paths across fields. If you time it right the Plymouth to Calstock train may pass underneath the bridge you cross. Its mostly off road including a lovely walk through a wood. 13 Calstock Long and short This walk starts by Calstock slipway opposite the Tamar Inn and takes you to Okel Tor mine and up to Calstock Church which was built inside a Roman Fort. It returns via a long since disused mineral railway line but you have the option of an additional 4 mile loop to return via Cotehele. The short walk is about 3 miles so allow about 2 hours to include a visit to the mine and to read all the information boards. 14 Around Buckland Monachorum Starting at the little car park opposite Long Ash garden centre on the edge of Roborough Down this 5.5 mile walk will take you through the middle of Buckland and out to the river Tavy retuning via an Iron age Hill fort and along the very edge of the Dartmoor National Park. The road up from Hatch Mill is quite steep but except for this its an easy stroll. 15 Whitchurch Stone stiles and Kissing gates This is a lovely cross country walk of about 5 miles which starts at Whitchurch. You will go out through 6 kissing gates and back over 3 granite stiles. The fields and gateways can be very wet and muddy in the winter so go in early summer and enjoy the wonderful hay-meadow flowers. 16 Horrabridge to Huckworthy the oak tree walk A 5 mile rural walk on well defined tracks footpaths and a bit on the road.

Davies National Rivers Authority Environmental Protection Manager South West R egion ANNUAL CLASSIFICATION OF RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992: NUMBERS OF SAMPLES EXCEEDING TOE QUALITY STANDARD - FWS/93/012 This report shows the number of samples taken and the frequency with which individual determinand values failed to comply with National Water Council river classification standards, at routinely monitored river sites during the 1992 classification period. Compliance was assessed at all sites against the quality criterion for each determinand relevant to the River Water Quality Objective (RQO) of that site. The criterion are shown in Table 1. A dashed line in the schedule indicates no samples failed to comply. This report should be read in conjunction with Water Quality Technical note FWS/93/005, entitled: River Water Quality 1991, Classification by Determinand? where for each site the classification for each individual determinand is given, together with relevant statistics. The results are grouped in catchments for easy reference, commencing with the most south easterly catchments in the region and progressing sequentially around the coast to the most north easterly catchment.

  • An Introduction to the Ownership, Administration and Management of Land in and Around the Village of Belstone
    An Introduction to the Ownership, Administration and Management of Land in and around the Village of Belstone The land in and around Belstone is subject to number of overlapping local interests and administrations. The aim of this booklet is simply to introduce them and their various areas of responsibility. They include: Belstone Commoners Association The Manor of Belstone & The Duchy of Cornwall Dartmoor National Park Authority West Devon Borough Council Belstone Parish Council (This guidance from Belstone Commoners' Association is not a legal document, claims no legal force and is based solely on informed opinion. Those needing a legal opinion on any of the matters discussed herein would be advised to consult with a legal professional) This document can also be viewed on the Village Website at http://www.belstonevillage.net/httpdocs/2011/2011_pdffiles/Commoners%20Booklet_2014.pdf COMMON LAND In common with most open land on Dartmoor, the open land in and around the village, including the area of open moorland stretching south and south-west of the village between the Rivers Taw and East Okement (up to a boundary running between Taw Marsh and Cullever Steps), is what is known in law as Common Land. The legally distinguishing feature of Common Land is that it is land the soil of which belongs to one person, but over which certain other people have rights e.g. the right to graze with cattle, sheep or ponies, the right to take gravel or peat or the right to take fallen wood or dead bracken. These rights are called Rights of Common and those who own any of these rights in Belstone are called Belstone Commoners.

Davies National Rivers A h ority Environmental Protection Manager South West Region RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992 CLASSIFICATION BY DETERMINAND 1. INTRODUCTION River water quality is monitored in 34 catchments in the region. Samples are collected at a minimum frequency of once a month from 422 watercourses at 890 locations within the Regional Monitoring Network. Each sample is analysed for a range of chemical and physical determinands. These sample results are stored in the Water Quality Archive. A computerised system assigns a quality class to each monitoring location and associated upstream river reach. This report contains the results of the 1992 river water quality classifications for each determinand used in the classification process. 2. RIVER WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT The assessment of river water quality is by comparison of current water quality against River Quality Objectives (RQO's) which have been set for many river lengths in the region. Individual determinands have been classified in accordance with the requirements of the National Water Council (NWC) river classification system which identifies river water quality as being one of five classes as shown in Table 1 below: TABLE 1 NATIONAL WATER COUNCIL - CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CLASS DESCRIPTION 1A Good quality IB Lesser good quality 2 Fair quality 3 Poor quality 4 Bad quality The classification criteria used for attributing a quality class to each criteria are shown in Appendix 1.

A major initiative is the commitment to produce Catchment Management Plans setting out the Authority’s vision for realising the potential of each local water environment. An important stage in the production of the plans is a period of public consultation. The NRA is keen to draw on the expertise and interest of the communities involved. The first plan for consultation in the South West is for the freshwater River Torridge Catchment. The NRA looks forward to receiving comments on the attached draft. A final plan will then be produced with an agreed action programme for the future protection and enhancement of this important catchment.

Smith Environmental Protection Freshwater Investigation Team NRA South West Region Manley House EXETER ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 047049 This work has been produced as the result of co-operative effort between the Freshwater Investigation Team and the Bydrcxnetrics Section of the National Rivers Authority South West Region. SUMMARY. A study was carried out between July & October 1990 to assess the impact of Meldon Quarry on water quality in the West Okement River. The study is part of an overall project to identify and control intermittent acidic and metalliferous discharges in the River Okement catchment. Acidic pollution events are of particular concern because they can lead to a significant loss of salmon and trout from the River Torridge catchment. Surveys carried out during rainfall demonstrate that Meldon Quarry has a significant inpact on water quality in the West Okement catchment. River pH and metal concentrations exceeded relevant Environmental Quality Standards in the West Okement River. During a detailed survey in July 1990, flow in the West Okement River was low and upstream of the Red-a-Ven Brook confluence was restricted to the compensation flow from Meldon Reservoir. During a second detailed survey in October flows were higher as a result of Meldon Reservoir over-topping the dam allowing greater dilution for the discharges from Meldon Quarry.
