Tamar

Websites about the river forming the border between Devon and Cornwall for much of its length to Plymouth Sound,: and incorporating Tamar Valley Area of Outstading Natural Beauty.
The most northerly point is the catchment to the man-made Upper Tamar Lake, which the county boundary dissects: between the parishes of Bradworthy and Kilkhampton.
Upper Tamar Lake is only five miles from the west coast, and ground water in Kilkhampton flows to the west, so: although the Tamar forms the boundary flowing south, is not regarded as the Tamar Valley.
More tributaries come from the parish of Bradsworthy, although the River Walden through Bradsworthy flows east,: and joins the River Torridge, eventually flowing north into the Barnstaple Bay.
Lower Tamar Lake is entirely within Devon, and from Bradsworthy parish the Tamar flows through Pancrasweek parish,: then again forms the county boundary with Launcells, but then the Tamar is entirely within Bridgerule,; before separating Whitstone and Pyworthy.
At North Tamerton, the Tamar is joined by the River Deer from Holsworthy, again dividing the counties at: Tetcott, Luffincott, Northcott and St Giles on the Heath in the Torridge District of Devon.
South of North Tamerton the parishes on the west bank of the Tamar are Boyton and Werrington before Launceston.
The Tamar remains the county boundary for the West Devon parishes of Lifton, Bradstone, Dunterton, Milton Abbot,: Sydenham Damerel, then Gulworthy, Bere Alston, Bere Ferrers, where the River Tavy joins the tidal estuary,; with Plymouth on the east bank. Here bridges span the Tamar to Saltash.
Upstream from Saltash on the west bank are the Cornish parishes of Botusfleming, Landulph, Pillaton,: St Dominick, Calstock (represented by Gunnislake), Stoke Climsland, Lezant & Lawhitton, south of Launceston.
