Overview

A circular walk starting at Hayle outdoor lido. We will walk through Hayle using the old tramway before heading off over fields and paths to Gwinear, a walk that has lovely panoramic views over the coastline. Then onto Connor Downs before reaching the Towans and the old dynamite works. A meander over the Towans will bring us back to King George's Memorial Walk and back to our cars.
