Calstock

England

Calstock perches above the River Tamar in Cornwall's eastern reaches, where the valley winds through wooded hills toward Plymouth. This former mining village connects to Devon via a striking railway viaduct and draws visitors for its riverside setting and arts scene. Reach it from Plymouth via the A38 and A390, then local roads through Gunnislake. The village's arts centre occupies a converted Victorian chapel with original Gothic windows still intact.
