Ogbeare Hall A distant glimpse of the mansion, part C15 but substantially rebuilt in the C19, from the lane between Hornacott Farm and North Tamerton. The house is on the north side of a steep little valley, part of which forms some of its grounds, and which drains into the Tamar.

North Tamerton Methodist Church The church has two dates; a plaque on the porch reads "United Methodist Church 1869", while the one on the façade gives "Methodist Church 1932", so presumably one is the original building and the other a date of rebuilding or restoration. This is on the western outskirts of North Tamerton on the road to Wilsworthy Cross.

Valley northwest of Wilsworthy Looking down an amphitheatre in the northeast quarter of the square, created by a tributary (and its headwaters) of the Tamar. Trees line the watercourses, which move out of square northwards and eastwards; the large farm right of centre, for instance, is East Balsdon in SX2898. The view is from the end of a stretch of woodland running beside the lane from Wilsworthy Cross to North Tamerton.
