Beautiful place. You can park in the carpark, read about the dam and use the footbridge-stepping stones to walk across the ford below the dam. The river Tavy runs into the Tamar below the dam. Near by is the Maristow estate a private house, church and farmland.
Beautiful place to visit tranquil and pretty
Tidal so time it if crossing but good car park and walk towards the estuary mouth with birds and salmon and classic view of one of Brunels Bridge
Nice and quiet place to take in the views, where the sea meets the river. You can spot Kingfishers and if youyr very lucky the dam hosts the annual salmon leap to their spawning grounds. Relax and enjoy.
Lovely place to visit, it's tidal so you need to be a bit careful but it's nice to go for a stroll and enjoy a day out. There are no facilities at the site but I am pretty sure the are some amenities a short drive away. I would say if you have older children and you wanted to have a picnic this isn't a bad place to go.
Beautiful on a sunny day. Kingfishers bringing their own illumination. Great pity that the cafe is no longer open. Someone should set up a mobile cafe down there.
Beautiful place to visit, see the weir and walk across on the narrow stone walkway and up a path besides the woods and estuary.But the great cafe that was here is Permanently closed as the sign says. I hope it opens again. Car park still open.The still water here makes it a good place to canoe, several people were using inflatabe canoes and having a good time.
Great place for a swim, not after rainfall though. It’s tidal so do look at tide times before setting off. Tucked out the way, really good and calm water for paddle boarding :)
A beautiful location full of birds. It's tidal and you can walk across to the other side when it's low. It's grown in popularity recently, so the car park normally has at least a few other people in. There's a cafe here but I've never seen it open and there is currently no public toilets there.
