What the Tamar Valley Offers for Self-Catering Holidays

Although many holidaymakers think of the Tamar Valley as a good place to stay for nature holidays, walking and cycling, the valley is a productive agricultural area with orchards and soft fruit market gardens.

The salt marsh surrounding the estuary of the Tamar and merging rivers Plym, Tavy and Lynher create a valuable habitat for waders and other birds. A cottage holiday in the Tamar Valley is a good way of introducing nature and birdwatching to children. A boat trip would be a memorable activity for young children or perhaps a spot of fishing?

Because this is a holiday area there is cycle hire available and plenty of visitor attractions. A self-catering cottage is one of the best ways for families to holiday because you can always choose to stay in should it rain and watch a DVD or play games.
