If you have been inspired by Ray Mears and would like to learn to light fires, make string, filter water and build yourself a shelter then our bushcraft courses are for you. Tamar Trails Centre makes a great place to learn these essential survival skills, which are fun to learn for all ages and abilities. The bushcraft courses are all held in the amazing woodland of the Tamar Valley, between Tavistock and Gunnislake, on the Devon and Cornwall border.

When we launched a junior version of Tree Surfers last summer we had no idea what a massive response it would get. The concept was a simple one…to offer something that was still high up in the trees with rope bridges, zip lines, walkways and obstacles, just smaller scale to suit smaller scale people. Oh, and be the first place in the South West to do so. We wanted to incorporate the same element of challenge and adventure that was injected into the original Tree Surfers course

25 km of dedicated off-road mountain biking trails to entice families and committed bikers alike. This is a great venue for mountain biking in the Tamar Valley, attracting novices and committed mountain bikers from all over Devon and Cornwall.

Archery is an Olympic sport for a reason. It requires skill, accuracy, poise and nerve to be a truly good shot. However our instructors are trained to bring out the best in everyone from age 6 upwards. Sessions are available in hourly slots, although special packages can be arranged for businesses, schools and other organisation looking for team building activities with a difference. Archery is a fantastic outdoor activity fo all ages and abilities.

Join us on the River Tamar, the river that divides Cornwall and Devon… take a scenic paddle from the historic Quay at Cotehele up river, past the village of Calstock and into the wilds of the upper tidal limits.
