Overview

Please note 9.30 start time.
A varied walk on the edge of the moor, encompassing moorland, tors, woodland and quiet lanes. Starting at Willsworthy car park, we’ll head up Hare Tor and Ger Tor before coming down to head to Wheal Jewell via Willsworthy, Hill Bridge and Creason Wood. If the weather isn’t playing ball, I’ll leave out the tors which will shorten the walk by a couple of miles.

Open moorland, mostly on paths and tracks, quiet lanes and woodland. Dogs on leads around livestock. Some up and down. 

Please book by text to walk leader (no emails).

Bring drinks/snacks for our morning coffee stop and packed lunch.
