Turner in the Tamar Valley Exhibition

"I have never seen so many natural beauties in such a limited spot as I have seen here."
Those are the words artist JMW Turner used to describe his time spent in the Tamar Valley at the start of the 19th century, and it really hasn't changed very much.

Following the discovery of new JMW Turner sketches of key iconic Tamar Valley views, and to coincide with the newly-released film, Mr. Turner, a Turner in the Tamar Valley Exhibition including the new sketches, will run daily from Tuesday 16th – Friday 19th December, 10am – 4pm. at the Tamar Valley Centre, Drakewalls.

                                                                Crossing The Brook (Newbridge)
Local Turner enthusiasts, Dorothy Kirk & Di Cook, who have written a book called Turner in the Tamar Valley, will give a talk on the evening of Monday 15th December, 7pm, revealing more about Turner’s journey in and around the Tamar Valley in the early 19th century.


So why not book a special couple of days, in our select accommodation in the Tamar Valley, to hear this new information about one of England's greatest artists. We can then book you a place for the talk.
