15min drive. Cadsonbury is a great Tamar Valley walk to have up your sleeve, especially in spring and summer.
In spring a multitude of wildflowers, birdsong and trees emerging from dormancy make for some heartening scenes. Come summer, when the weather is at its hottest, shaded woods alongside a cooling stretch of the River Lynher offer a little respite, making this a popular spot for dog walkers and families during such times.
Regardless of season, if you’re looking for something a little more energetic a trek up the steep hill to the fort will oblige you with some heart healthy exercise and reward you with some stunning views.
