Bere Alston to Bere Ferrers

After weeks of wet weather it was lovely to  see clear skies and the sun for the start of 2013.  Even better was the fact we had organised to meet Mike and Ruth for a walk from Bere Alston to Bere Ferrers.

We met at the station and caught the Gunnislake train at 10.54am.  Once out of the industrial part of Plymouth this is such a beautiful train ride along the River Tamar. We alighted at Bere Alston station and walked along the roads to Bere Ferrers.  It was a very pleasant walk with lovely views.  The fields were very muddy with lots of streams of water cascading down the sides of the roads or fields.  It definitely was not the day to walk along footpaths.

One delightful surprise along the route were these daffodils out.  Spring is on the way!

At Bere Ferrers we stopped at the local pub, The Old Pough Inn, and had a delicious lunch, before a brief walk along the river and then back to the railway station to catch the train back to Plymouth.
