Racing Through Spring

The river Tamar forms the boundary between Cornwall and Devon. Rising only 4 miles from Bude and the Atlantic Ocean, it flows south, slowly at first, for nearly 50 miles to the English Channel. In its middle reaches, the River Tamar winds its way through steep wooded country.

 

This is also an area strewn with the relics of two centuries of mining and is part of Cornwall's and West Devon's World Heritage Site. On the Cornish side is Cotehele Quay, once a busy port on which the local community depended. It is now looked after by the National Trust.

 

Cotehele Quay Gig Club is a community rowing club based at the National Trust property on the River Tamar.
