Tuckenhay is a small hamlet of waterfront houses on Bow Creek. While small, there is still enough room for two pubs in Tuckenhay.

Its history is in papermaking but now you are more likely to see passing kayaks and paddleboards on the tidal creek.

Particularly beautiful in the Autumn when the riverbank is swathed in red and gold.

The village has an industrial past. A paper mill opened in 1829, and produced high quality hand-made paper until the late 20th century. An extension was opened in 1889, and has now been converted into holiday accommodation. Nearby on the quay is a restaurant-pub, the Maltsters Arms, once owned by the TV chef Keith Floyd
