Overview

Park at The Cheesewring Car Park from where we walk up and over Caradon Hill and around to the impressive Caradon mine workings.  After tea break we have a ford/stream/river to cross, depending on rainfall, before arriving back at The Hurlers car park at Minions.  Taking in The Hurlers and The Pipers we cross Craddock Moor to Tregarick Tor where we stop for lunch overlooking Siblyback Reservoir.  On the return we take in the quarry, Cheesewring and Daniel Gumb’s cave before heading back along the disused railway.
