Tourist Guide

Boyton - the northern hamlet This part of Boyton lies some 400 metres away from the main part of the village around the church. On the left is Town Farm. Most of the buildings behind the white-gabled Boyton Villas are parts of the County Primary School. Taken from Underlane.

River Tamar. This photo looks almost exactly along the gridline. On the left, the river is running (away from the camera) beside Northcott Wood, which rises up a hill. On the right (the direction from which the river has come) are level meadows. A small watercourse entering immediately to the left of the camera is the tail race from 606413.
River Tamar at Northcott Wood Taken from a metre or so into the water, looking upstream. The west bank (the one on the left, which would be known as the "right bank"), with the precariously poised old oak, is in SX3291; the east side, with Northcott Wood rising from it, is in SX3292. Most of the water is in the former square. A small stream, which has run along the south edge of the wood, enters a few metres away on the right.
Trees near the Tamar Seen from St. Giles on the Heath Footpath 3 as it passes through the field boundary on the right, which drops (actually it is the western side of an old track) along the line of the oaks to meet Northcott Wood on the other side of a small stream. The River Tamar is a couple of hundred metres to the left, more or less on the gridline.

The room was very clean and very quaint, but also very quiet. Room five has a lovely bathroom the only thing that very slightly let it down was the shower control isn't thermostatic so slight pressure variances from other rooms do cause the odd cold shock moment. Food is good and there's an interesting ...
