dave and judy’s favourite DOG WALKS AND GOOD FOOD

One of the great ways to explore Cornwall is by going for a good old walk. Whether it’s coastal or inland, one mile or ten miles, that’s when you get a really good feel for this beautiful county.

Being a Cornish Maid there is absolutely nowhere better in this world! Ok, so I married a boy from up north but let’s face it, he moved down here because he loves it too (as you can guess there is a lot of banter between us over North and South but all with a good heart!).

We have two gorgeous spaniels, a cocker and a springer and they love their walks. With busy lives we resort to the usual local walks but when we do venture further afield and discover a new walk, we all love it.

So we hope this little list is of some benefit to you:

This walk is right on your doorstep. Walk past Starlight Barns and through the stiles and keep going. You have a choice of walking across the little lane and you will come to a duck pond and ultimately the cricket pitch or walk up that little lane through the farm and then there are two choices (left or straight ahead). Don’t worry you won’t get lost, you will end up on the old A30 and back to the cricket pitch. You can do a circular route or walk through the village. If you fancy a walk in the woods try Idless Woods and Ladock Woods both fairly close by. Trelissick is a National Trust property and the walk takes you down to the River Fal and you can choose a long or short walk. Coastal walks close by are Chapel Porth and Perran Sands (two of our real favourites). Chapel Porth walk starts from a National Trust car park and you can walk past the famous engine house that features in a lot of photographs and has been painted numerous times. Park in the Perran Sands Holiday Park (there is a designated car park for dog walkers just inside the entrance) and this walk includes the Lost Church (officially called St Pirans Lost Oratory https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=13018 ).
