Tavy Cleave and Hare Tor Circular Walk

Although the Tavy Cleave and Hare Tor Circular Walk isn’t a high foot traffic route, the car park next to the trailhead is fairly small and might require you to arrive early to secure a space. Additionally, there are a few sections of the trail that are a bit narrow, so be sure to keep an eye on children when travelling through these areas. Make sure to bring your wellies, as the pathways along the river can be quite muddy after a good rainfall.

Setting out from the car park, you will make your way east along the lane to pass by Nattor Farm and pick up the footpath. From there, you will continue on to the east and pass through some open farmland, eventually turning to the northeast to follow alongside the winding banks of the River Tavy below several tors. Reaching the point where Rattle Brook breaks away from the river to the north, head left and follow it for a short distance before turning back to the west to climb uphill. Here, you will traverse the summit of Hare Tor and turn to the southwest on the final leg of the walk that will see you make your way across Ger Tor and the open farmland on the return to the car park.
