The Riverside Walk To Cotehele
johngayton Says: If you have a whole day to spend at Calstock an interesting place to visit is the Tudor manor house at Cotehele, about a mile and a half's walk from Calstock station. This National Trust property definitely looks well worth a visit with its solid period architecture,...
johngayton Says: As a village Calstock definitely has an "arty" feel to it with all sorts of minor masterpieces to be discovered simply by wandering its streets. For instance the childrens playground on the green is dominated by a mock-up of an old river vessel, the Shamrock II, which makes...
An Amazing Exhibition/Performance Space
johngayton Says: Calstock is a village which, even on my very short afternoon visit, comes across as a creative community. Many of the houses have interesting artily decorative features such as the cute ceramic nameplate of "Any Mouse House" (pic #3) or the nautically-themed front garden of...
yozza2005 Says: A pleasant 2.5/3 mile round trip walk.From the train station at Calstock, walk down the main road, and turn right at the beauty clinic. (The path should be well sign posted)One hill to contend with.Closely following the river initially before heading up through Cotehele...
The Tamar Inn: Definitely On My List
johngayton Says: I haven’t actually stayed here in Calstock (as yet) but were I to do so my first choice would be the B&B accommodation on offer at the Tamar Inn. The pub itself is characterful and friendly, the food is good, the beer equally so and the weekend entertainment looks lively.I...
The Tamar Inn: A Proper Village Pub
johngayton Says: To my mind the ideal village pub should be totally egalitarian, a part of the community as a whole and welcoming also to visitors. Here in Calstock the Tamar Inn is a perfect example.The 17th century building is characterful and its location overlooks both the quayside and...
The Tamar Inn: Where It All Happens
johngayton Says: The exemplary Tamar Inn (see my restaurant tip for more details) not only offers great food, good beer, friendly staff and locals it is also the village’s social centre hosting regular live music, pub quiz nights and other events.I haven't, as yet, had an evening out here...
The Tamar: A Night In Calstock.
yozza2005 Says: The Tamar Inn in Calstock is a small, charming and sterotypical country english pub.Mainly hit by locals you can sense the age and history of the place when you enter.Food is cheap and relatively good.Many a choice of local ale and well known beers and spirits sold here at...
johngayton Says: The small locally-owned company DAC Coaches runs a fairly regular bus service (#79) in and out of the village starting from Callington, in Cornwall, with Tavistock, in Devon, as its destination and going via Gunnislake.There are 15 buses daily Monday to Saturday in both...
Getting The Overview On Arrival
johngayton Says: Calstock is on the spectacularly scenic Tamar Valley branch line between Plymouth and Gunnislake and the high-arched viaduct which carries the track across the river here is one of the route's definite highlights.The view of the village, and the river, from the train is...
Le Vine's: A Perfect Village Shop
johngayton Says: This is a classic small village shop with something for everyone - basic necessities such as booze and cigarettes for me, plus the usual non-essentials such as bread and milk. Friendly service and plethora of other offerings make this a complete village store (plus the...
The Viaduct - Both Sides Up (Or Down)
johngayton Says: The view from the railway viaduct over the River Tamar here at Calstock is one of Britain's most striking scenes from a train window with the river winding to both left and right through the lush green valley where the two counties (Devon and Cornwall) meet. The village...
