Overview

Join us for a beautiful and varied walk including woodland, pretty valleys and open higher ground around the small village of Blisland on the edge of Bodmin Moor. The route follows the River Camel then climbs to the De Lank quarries with spectacular views.  We visit the carved Jubilee Rock  before continuing to unspoilt farmland then picturesque Blisland. The route then drops from the church down to the Camel valley and back to the start.

This is mainly a very easy walk but the paths near the quarry are steep (up and down) and rocky, slippery in places. Otherwise there is just plenty of seasonal mud to contend with. 

Dogs will need to be on leads through livestock.

Remember lunch, snacks and a drink.
