Our final featured town on the banks of the River Tamar is Saltash, known as the Gateway to Cornwall, as it lies just across the River Tamar from Plymouth. Travellers arriving in the county by train will cross the Royal Albert Bridge, Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s famous railway bridge across the river completed in 1859. Or if travelling by road there is the Tamar Bridge, with a large Celtic cross visible on entering Cornwall. Tere is a pleasant shopping high street in the heart of the town.
Nearby, the 11th century motte- and-bailey Trematon Castle was built in a commanding position over the valley, and Trematon
Manor is a Georgian house worth a visit. In fact, the villages of Trematon and Burraton are the original settlements of this area.
Saltash is an ideal location for visitors to the Tamar Valley and there are many beautiful views across the river. Canoeing trips on the Tamar are very popular. Te town has a local Heritage Trail, and also boasts a Leisure Centre. Te town is within easy reach of many major attractions in both Cornwall and Devon, and is on all the main transport routes by road and rail. Saltash Museum and Local History Centre opened in 2000 and contains a small permanent display about the
history and well-known characters of Saltash. A temporary display is mounted during the summer.
A marina and an all-tides pontoon for short-stay moorings sailing and motor boats is available. Te river is navigable beyond the Tamar bridges and, on some tides, it is possible to sail further up the beautiful river valley, as far as Cotehele and Calstock. Plymouth Sound is full of interest, as are such sites as Mount Edgecumbe, Drake’s Island, the historic Devonport Dockyard, and Torpoint. Te historic Saltash Waterside offers a choice of entertainment, cafés, pubs and restaurants.
Not too far away are the attractive resorts of Looe and Polperro. And for anyone looking for a little more night life, the bright lights of Plymouth are just across the river. For a warm welcome and great food the WHO’D HAVE THOUGHT IT INN is in the village of St. Dominic on the Saltash to Callington road.
Te WHO’D HAVE THOUGHT IT INN is a friendly country pub that offers great food, local ales, cider and wine. Families with children are very welcome and there is a children’s menu and baby change facilities. Dogs are welcome in the bar areas. Open for morning coffee from 10:30am. Free parking.
