Property description
The River Lyhner is one of the hidden treasures of southeast Cornwall. Draining the eastern flanks of Bodmin Moor, this fast flowing clear river is characterised by stunning scenery from its source near Altarnun to its outfall into St Germans tidal estuary. Newbridge, midway along the river’s route, offers special scenery north and south including immediately adjacent Cadson Bury iron age defensive earthworks owned by the National Trust which provides lovely walks.
Nearby Callington provides a range of social, commercial and shopping facilities and beyond is the city of Plymouth ( 15 miles) with Continental Ferry Port, Inter City Rail Link and Plymouth Sound renowned for yachting and water sports.

The structure adjoins the parapet walls of the adjoining stone arched road bridge over the River Lyhner.
