Over the Tamar
This itinerary spans the Tamar Estuary, the age-old boundary between Devon and Corn-
wall.
Fowey
makes a fine start, with its pastel-coloured houses, riverside pubs, and Daphne
du Maurier connections. Head east via the olde-worlde harbour of
Polperro
to
Looe
, a
breezy seaside town divided by the River Looe. Beaches abound nearby, including the
massive sweep of
Whitsand Bay
.
Then it's on to the
Rame Peninsula
and the country estates of
Mount Edgcumbe
and
An-
tony House
before catching the Torpoint Ferry across the Tamar to
Plymouth
. Devon's
biggest city might not be pretty, but it's packed with history - especially around the historic
Barbican. The city also has a growing foodie scene, with several celebrity chefs setting up
shop around town.
