The Bere Peninsula is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is within a World Heritage Site. It lies between the River Tamar and the River Tavy.
The Stannary market town of Tavistock and City Of Plymouth are only 7 miles and 14 miles respectively, both have a range of local individual shops as well as high street names.
Historically the community once was the heart of a thriving mining industry and in later years market gardening, using Tamar barges and trains to transport the goods. The mainline trains to London would stop at the village to pick up locally grown produce destined for Covent Garden.
The Tamar Valley line still runs through the peninsular with stations in Bere Alston and Bere Ferrers to the main line in Plymouth City Centre.
Once home to numerous pubs, the village of Bere Alston still has one public house, The Edgcumbe Hotel and Bere Ferrers, The Old Plough.
Bere Alston benefits from a primary school (OFSTED Outstanding rating), doctors surgery, pharmacy, post office, two small supermarkets, community café, butcher and baker.
