Welcome to Boyton

Boyton is a small village located in the north-eastern part of Cornwall, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Tamar, which forms the border between Cornwall and Devon. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the area. Boyton is known for its historic buildings, including the 15th-century church of St Mary and the 17th-century Boyton Manor.

One of the main attractions of Boyton is the River Tamar, which offers a range of activities for visitors. The river is popular for fishing, with salmon and sea trout being the most common catches. There are also opportunities for kayaking and canoeing, with several local companies offering guided tours of the river. For those who prefer to stay on land, there are plenty of walking and cycling routes in the area, including the Tamar Valley Discovery Trail, which takes in some of the most scenic parts of the valley.

Another popular attraction in Boyton is the nearby Tamar Otter and Wildlife Centre. The centre is home to a variety of animals, including otters, deer, and wallabies. Visitors can watch the otters being fed and learn about their behaviour and habitat. There are also opportunities to see birds of prey in flight and to take part in hands-on activities such as animal handling and pond dipping. The centre is a great place for families to spend a day out and is a must-visit for animal lovers.
