Bude

This is a longer walk than some that I post, however it is not overly strenuous due to its flat nature and has a nice mixture of coast, fields, sea and canal/river. If you are very lucky, you will be as blessed as we were, with a fine display by a rather large Kingfisher who seemed intent on leading us down the canal, plus several glimpses of Water Voles. We considered ourselves very lucky!

This circular walk, takes us back to the rugged North Coast of Cornwall, and takes in one of our most iconic spots –that of the Rev. Hawkers Hut. We take in valleys, small waterfalls, footbridges, kissing gates (of which there are a very civilised number!) and a Point that is not to be missed.

Upper Tamar Lakes

This walk in Cornwall actually takes us around the Upper Tamar Lake, which means that for some of the walk we are actually in that dark place across the border that is known as Devon. We will criss-cross thisancient border between Cornwall and England as it was set by King Athelstan (on the eastern bank of the river) in AD936, whilst onour circular walk, knowing that at the end we have a seasonal cafe to refresh ourselves.
