- Lopwell Dam , Maristow Estate and The SouthWest Lakes Trust , The River Tavy Devon uk , Near Plymouth, the Local Nature Reserve is home to a varied range of wildlife, both in and out of the water. Delve into Lopwell’s long history (all the way back to the 13th century!), and learn about how this peaceful haven was once a busy river quay that served Plymouth and London, with a mineshaft used for mining lead and silver., While it is now a peaceful and beautiful spot, Lopwell was initially a busy river quay, serving nearby mines. Explore Lopwell’s nature trail and discover Wheal Maristow, an impressive mineshaft, dating back to the 13th Century. Before the dam was built, a ferry used to run from one side of the estuary to the other. If you walk around the nature reserve you will come across the ruins of the old ferryman’s cottage which used to house the Vivian brothers who ran the ferry in around 1918 (a wooden rowing boat!)
