One
of the greatest things about Cornwall is the sheer amount of natural, untouched
landscapes that are just ideal for a day of exploring. There’s no better feeling
than reaching the top of a hill, looking down and just admiring the view and
what you have accomplished. So why not make up some sandwiches, put on your
wellies and go on your very own Cornish adventure. You’ll find a whole book of
walks at the farm but here are a few of our favourites:
·
Gorran Haven and Dodman Point
A 4 mile walk of moderate difficulty, however the views from Dodman point over Veryan Bay towards Nare Head make the slight struggle all so very worth while. Look out for the HUGE granite cross at Dodman point which was placed there in 1896 as anavigational aid for seafarers - it's also the perfect spot for a scenic photo!
Hall Walk
Second up is the Hall Walk in Fowey. Meandering around the lower banks of the River Fowey, this particular route has been listed in Britain’s top 100 walks and is not too strenuous for the whole family to enjoy. If the promise of probably the best estuary views in the county isn’t enough to get you walking, then the many tea rooms and the thought of a cream tea should be.
·
Luxulyan Valley
The Luxulyan Valley can be described as nothing less
than breathtaking. It’s thickly wooded terrain and steep granite sloops
surround the fast-flowing River Par, whilst playing home to some quite
extraordinary early 19th century industrial remains which are
completely unique to the West Country. This 3 mile walk is one you will remember, and
also the perfect spot to enjoy a proper Cornish Pasty!
