Wednesday 9th April Bere Ferrers

The early morning mist had already gone at home but was still hanging when I arrived at Bere Ferrers - this looks out across to the other side of the River Tavy estuary (where we were last week).

We walked through the village and out on to the Tamar Valley Discovery Trail - minutes after this was taken...

...the mist lifted and we walked down to path next to the mud flats

Lots of mud at this stile - not surprising with the non stop rain over the weekend.
The blossom is just coming out.


















The view across the mud flats.

On the other side of the path in the now bright sunshine were lots of newly born lambs.

We took the green lane up past this tractor raking the grass.

Stopping for coffee we had this splendid view over the Tamar estuary.

At the end of the lane is this farm and it's a good job you can't smell it!

I left the others at this point to continue on the walk and I headed down to Weir Quay.


















Past the boatyard...


...and this cottage with the beautiful blossom in the garden


The clouds were now getting heavier.  This was view across the river - Cornwall on the other side.

An old winch to pull the boats in.

I followed the road back over the railway line next to Bere Ferrers station where people were waiting for the next train to Plymouth.  Could be a scene from 50 years ago.

Finally back to the start.

On the walk Liz, Anne, Eleanor, Terry and Tom.
