Where the river Tavy and Walkham meet

A nice and easy short walk

New bridge

Kit Hill sits high above the Tamar Valley, overlooking the river and the valley it formed. The hill boasts a wide array of history, including 18 burial mounds, neolithic and bronze-age barrows, as well as pointers towards Cornwall's more contemporary mining history.

The Hoe is a large limestone plateau on the edge of which is the citadel. In the park on the Hoe there is a large collection of impressive monuments to the great seafaring nation, including the first circumnavigator Francis Drake, the victory over the Spanish Armada and the two World Wars. Built in front of the sea is the Tinside seawater outdoor pool in Art Deco style, which is definitely worth looking for, and the huge, freely accessible sea bathing area right next to it with a bit of Lost Place charm.

Devil's Point is a location on the eastern side of the mouth of the Tamar River where it meets the English Channel at Plymouth Sound. It is a historic, ecological and geological site with stunning views across the Hamoaze to Mount Edgcumbe in Cornwall and across Plymouth Sound to Drake's Island and beyond. Devil's Point has also played a military role, with a former reservoir supplying the iconic Royal William Yard next door and still visible defenses from the Second World War. You might imagine seeing Darwin's ship, The Beagle, anchoring at Barn Pool in 1837, just before he embarked on his famous circumnavigation of the world, or watching Napoleon pacing the deck of HMS Bellerophon, which sailed in July 1815 at anchor in the Sound before being exiled to St. Helena.

Penlee Point is a coastal headland situated at the entrance to Plymouth Sound. From the point, you get spectacular views across Plymouth and beyond. Above Penlee Point and a little below the Coast Path is Queen Adelaide's Grotto, which was built in 1827-28 to mark the visit of King William IV and Queen Adelaide to Mount Edgcumbe.

Watch out for the steps upwards if coming from King William's Yard

The Hoe is really the heart of Plymouth; a huge greenspace with dramatic memorials, Smeaton's Tower and unrivalled views. In summer, the grass is covered with people having picnics, throwing frisbees and admiring the fantastic panorama of Plymouth Sound. It's a wonderful place to watch the boats and come for a walk.

An enchanting spot on the edge of Dartmoor, the meeting point of these two rivers is great for wild swimming and having a picnic. Mossy rocks, gnarled trees and exceptionally clear water make the confluence quintessentially Dartmoor. While not particularly long rivers, both have their sources in the national park. If you do swim here, be very mindful of both the current and the temperature, which is always cold and can be quite shocking when the air in warm.

Another trig pointed Marilyn but nothing to write home about. A pretty part of the world no less. A 2.5 mile (4 km) windy stroll up Kit Hill 1,095 feet (334 m) near Tavistock before the wind and rain starts in earnest.

Amazing views of Plymouth Sound, Drake's Island and Mount Edgecombe

nice

Nice but vicious climb for cyclists. Fantastic panoramic views.

Climb down to the chapel in the cliff.
