East Cornwall

The Category East Cornwall is a subset of Cornwall.

'You can visit the castle and gardens, walk in the grounds and visit the stunning beaches and coastal paths which make up the estate.'

'Calstock Parish stretches from Gunnislake in the east to the bounds of Kit Hill. There are 40 Public Rights of Way identified by standards set by Cornwall Council who classify county paths as Gold, Silver and Bronze. It is significant that all parish paths are Gold with only one classified as Silver. Many of the paths are rich in industrial heritage, provide magnificent views of countryside and the Tamar with links to woodland and quiet lanes and roads.'

'Camelford Walkers formed on the opening of a new community centre in the former NatWest Bank Building, and now walks virtually every Thursday afternoon of the year, alternating between a local walk from the Old Bank and an away walk using a community minibus as public transport is limited.'

'The Eden Project, an educational charity, connects us with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work towards a better future. Our visitor destination in Cornwall, UK, is nestled in a huge crater. Here, massive Biomes housing the largest rainforest in captivity, stunning plants, exhibitions and stories serve as a backdrop to our striking contemporary gardens, summer concerts and exciting year-round family events.'

'Liskeard is an excellent base for walkers being situated midway between the coast and the moors. It is an ancient market town on the main London to Penzance railway line and has good bus services, both local and national. It has a wide range of shops, mostly locally owned, and still has a livestock market.'

'There is a marked trail around the island that takes in the site of a Benedictine chapel built in 1139 at the highest point (47 m). Legend says that Joseph of Arimathea came here ... Please note that visits can only be made on official organised trips.'

'Putting the "East" back into the walking festival ... This year's festival will see the emphasis on walks in the eastern part of South East Cornwall. It also goes to show that there are walks going on around the area all year round organized by volunteers groups such as the Ramblers.' Usually held Mid September.

'The Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or TVAONB for short, is a special area around the rivers Tamar, Tavy and Lynher ... On one side is Devon, the other Cornwall. The Tamar Valley extends north from the broad estuary at Plymouth to the intricate, deeply incised river that meanders just below Launceston and Tavistock. It borders Dartmoor National Park to the east and the Kit Hill area to the west.'

'Contains 27 round walks on and around the Moor, all researched between 2010 and 2012. Mostly between 5 and 10 miles in length, they contain Description, Diary, Interest, Statistics, Useful Info and a PDF file of Route Directions, with a few grid references to help locate significant features. Walks are grouped under area. In some cases, two walks can be joined to make one long one.'

'Get your boots on! Bodmin is a great centre for walking holidays with the Camel Trail starting in the town, the rugged landscape of Bodmin Moor right on its doorstep, the Saints Way crossing nearby and Cardinham Woods, the Forestry Commission woodland just ten minutes drive from the town centre ...'

'The Copper Trail was devised and researched by Mark Camp.  The full trail guide is available from good local bookshops ... Mark Camp is known as an authority on Bodmin Moor.  In 2005, he excelled himself with a continuous 60 mile trail around the moor, which he calls the Copper Trail, appropriately since Minions and Caradon Hill were once the centre of a great copper mining boom.'

Oliver’s Cornwall

'Cotehele a fine example of a Tudor house 1485 and 1627 set amidst deciduous woodlands of the Danescombe and Morden valleys, over looking the ebb and flow of the River Tamar. Valley sides dotted with hidden mine shafts, lime kilns redundant fields of daffodils.'

'25km of new and improved trails which have been created as part of the Tamar Valley Mining Heritage Project. They open up parts of the Tamar Valley that were previously not accessible to the public.'

'Circuit around the heart of Helman Tor Nature Reserve. The route takes you through eerie willow woodlands, over ancient landscapes and wildlife-rich heathland, past ponds buzzing with nature and into the footsteps of Cornwall's mining pioneers.' Unfortunately the PDF seems no longer to be downloadable, so I have replaced the Link with a more generic one from Visit Cornwall.
