- Free event
Four walks to choose from:
• Trevellas to St Agnes Harbour - Fri, 21 Jun 10:30 – 13:00. The route of this circular passes over challenging surfaces; walking across the rock pools from Trevellas to St Agnes Harbour at low tide before returning over the cliffs. Wear sturdy footwear suitable for these conditions. If you don't wish to drive down the steep road, alternative parking available in the Cornwall Council car park before you descend down the road.
• St Agnes Head to Seal Hole - Fri, 16 Aug – 10:00 – 12:00. This circular walk will take in the stories and views of Newdowns Head, Bawden Rocks, Seal Hole, Polberro and St Agnes Head.
• Towan Cross to Porthtowan and Chapel Porth - Fri, 20 Sept 12:30 – 14:30. This circular walk will take in the views and stories of the Towan Cross heathland, the cliffs and the beach between Porthtowan and Chapel Porth which the route will take us on at low tide. Unfortunately dogs aren't permitted due to dog ban on Porthtowan beach until 30 Sept, 10am – 6pm.
• St Agnes Ghost walk - Fri, 18 Oct 18:30 – 21:00. This late night walk will start at St Agnes Parish Church taking in ghostly stories of St Agnes’ past as we walk through the parish as the sky darkens, finishing at the Driftwood Spars. Good mobility is required for this walk as we will be walking on footpaths in the dark. Please bring a torch also, they won’t be used all the time but will certainly be useful when walking back from the Driftwood Spars!
