- 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.
