THE POPULAR exhibition 'Turner in the Tamar Valley' can now be seen at Cotehele until May 10.

Created to celebrate the launch of the book of the same name about the artist Turner's work in the valley, the exhibition was first shown at the Tamar Valley Centre at Drakewalls at the end of 2009 before heading to Launceston Library.

The exhibition shows visitors where Turner sketched in the Tamar Valley, including Cotehele, Calstock, Morwellham, Weir Head, Gunnislake and Endsleigh. The industrial scene and canal scheme in the area are also highlighted, as well as the frustrations felt and false trails unearthed by Dorothy Kirk and Diana Cook as they compiled their research for their book.

The book was published by the Tamar Valley AONB and was the fruit of a decade of research.

Cotehele is open daily from 10am to 4.30pm and the exhibition will be in the education room.

Priced at £9.95, 'Turner in the Tamar Valley' is available to buy from Cotehele, the Tamar Valley Centre at Drakewalls (01822 835030) and bookshops throughout the Tamar Valley area
