Overview

A varied walk initially walking footpaths overlooking the beautiful St Ives Bay before heading inland along lanes to the back of Carbis Bay. The walk will then go to the top of Trencrom with its stunning views and prehistoric archeology. Finally a mix of lanes and footpaths will take us back to St Erth and finally a walk along the river bank. This walk may be reversed if high tides are still causing the river to flood.
