Beschreibung

Newbridge is a road crossing over the River Lynher on the A390 main road between Callington and Liskeard. Newbridge being such a common name it's known locally as Callington Newbridge, built centuries ago it was formerly a toll bridge. NOTE whilst the river is mostly slow and gentle, following periods of heavy rain it can become extremely fast and care should be taken near the river banks. Cadson Bury (or Cadsonbury) is a large Iron Age Hill Fort. NOTE the climb is very steep with steps but gives spectacular views over a wide area. 60 years ago this area was little visited, but today is more popular, on fine days, especially in Summer months, a visit early in the day is best. Once one of the best places to see both Sumpfmeise and Weidenmeise, today they are rarely seen, more common depending on season are Wintergoldhähnchen, Erlenzeisig, Wasseramsel, Zilpzalp, Goldammer, Baumpieper and Mäusebussard amongst many others.
