Whether you’re planning a day trip or looking to stay for a while in the Tamar Valley, Sarah Bartlett from Visit Tamar Valley highlights just some of the ways in which local tourism providers are offering a sustainable experience, to help conserve the natural beauty of our area.
Find out more about Visit Tamar Valley’s eight Green Ambassadors, the sustainability pledge and their work towards a sustainable tourism charter during a walk and talk at Lopwell Dam, where we caught up with Sarah just ahead of English Tourism Week (15-24 March).
Your hosts, Ginnette Sutherland and Charlotte Dancer from Tamar Valley National Landscape, also chat with one of the first walkers to complete the 87-mile Tamara Coast to Coast Way when it launched in summer 2023. We catch up with Gary Lewis (Senior Heritage Officer for Tamara Landscape Partnership) at Okel Tor, to hear how he and Sarah Richardson walked the entire length in seven days, and the advice he’d give to walkers who would like to explore the route.
This episode, you’ll hear the sounds of Nature at Okel Tor as we pause, engage and connect for a few moments in our regular slot inspired by the nature connectedness work and research undertaken by University of Derby.
Learn more about one of our Tamar Valley Special Species – 17 animals and plants that were identified within the Tamar Valley National Landscape’s Nature Recovery Plan 2023-2030, as needing a helping hand to thrive. Gary Lewis talks about the Willow Tit that favours willow or other suitable thicket and scrub habitat in damp places.

This month, to coincide with National Apprenticeship Week, we’ve been spending time on the Bere peninsula, interviewing Marketing Trainee Kirsty at Harlings Devon and our Community Engagement intern, Ginnette, as we explore green careers in the Tamar Valley.
Your hosts, Ginnette Sutherland and Charlotte Dancer from Tamar Valley National Landscape, meet the next generation that are benefitting from real hands-on experience and knowledge exchange throughout our National Landscape, and discover more about the apprenticeships, traineeships and internships created through our National Lottery Heritage Fund supported Tamara Landscape Partnership scheme.
Dave Bouch, Head Gardener at National Trust’s Cotehele and Antony, explains how he started his career as an apprenticeship at Antony in the 1980s, and introduces their current apprentice Sophie.
If you’re interested in a green career, this podcast offers tips and advice that you might like to consider as you start your journey.
This episode, you’ll hear the sounds of Nature at Weir Quay as we pause, listen and connect for a few moments in our regular slot inspired by the nature connectedness work and research undertaken by University of Derby.
Learn more about one of our Tamar Valley Special Species – 17 animals and plants that were identified within the Tamar Valley National Landscape’s Nature Recovery Plan 2023-2030, as needing a helping hand to thrive. Bryony James, Community & Volunteer Officer for Tamara Landscape Partnership Scheme, talks about the harvest mouse that can be found in a range of habitats including species-rich grassland, reedbeds, tussock grasses on heathland and field margins. Creating field margins and reducing grazing pressure are just two ways in which we could help the harvest mouse.
