Lopwell Dam Nature Reserve - near Plymouth

Had a short walk here today. The paths weren't the best as they were still very muddy and had been well churned up by a motorcross bike...

Must have been a quiet time to visit as we did not see much, but it has the potential for return visits. Very pretty woods which I think will be magical when the trees come into leaf.









Here's a link to what we should have seen!

Thanks WOO !

Mr Cookie and I fight over the camera and do lots of swaps between camera and binoculars - have to say 'He' did the lovely water of the dam!

Apparently, salmon leap up this section which shows that the River Tavy is very clean and healthy. Also, otters have been seen around these river banks too.

It is only a few miles north of Plymouth so I think me and the fella will be visiting here a lot more in future!
