Daffodils in the pasture. A former Narcissus field. – When the railway came to the Tamar Valley it gained a thriving trade in flowers and soft fruit which could be sold the day after picking in London. Gradually this activity diminished and in some cases the bulb fields were just left to pasture, but the daffodils still come through each spring.

Bere Alston Station. View eastwards, towards Okehampton, Exeter and , eventually, London Waterloo; ex-London & South Western main line Exeter - Okehampton - Plymouth, and Plymouth, Devonport & South Western Junction branch to Gunnislake and Callington.

(Plymouth Friary had closed 15/9/58, passenger services thereafter starting at North Road).

Loved staying at the Copthorne Hotel. Looks dreadful from the outside but beautiful inside. Staff were so friendly. Would highly recommend upgrading to a Club Room, well worth the extra. Happy to return to this hotel.
