Overview

Join us for a walk through beautiful countryside from Stithians Dam to Kennall Vale Nature Reserve to see the fine Autumn colour there and the water-driven gunpowder mills.

We are walking on narrow paths, firmer tracks and some quiet lanes. At this time of year some sections are likely to be wet and/or muddy.

Please book by clicking on the email bar or contacting Sylvie directly.
