Everyone is entitled to use a Public Right of Way.  Rarely are they altered, obstructed or closed. In 1984 a group of Calstock residents concerned for the future and condition of long established Public Rights of Way branching out from this historic riverside village, formed the Calstock Footpath Society with the clear objective of monitoring and caring for traditional paths used by the local community and visitors to the Tamar Valley.

Today the Society has a healthy and active membership, its obligation expanded to include villages and hamlets within the wider parish. The Society works alongside the Parish Council to ensure that the network is checked at least three times a year to make certain that use is not denied.

As part of its extended role the Society organises monthly walks both within and outside Calstock Parish. Many of the walks have a general interest or historic content and are considered to be within the capability of members and non-members
            

Organised Walks
It is said that the Society walks are of a congenial nature and never too stressful!! Monthly walks are promoted on the Parish website, members' literature, and when appropriate by the local press and through the Tamar Valley Area of

Outstanding Natural Beauty offices. The Honorary Secretary of the Society can always provide details of forthcoming walks and the benefits of membership.
