We're inviting the local community to join us at Trelissick on a free guided wildlife walk through the Trelissick estate. Cam, a member of the Trelissick team and wildlife enthusiast, will guide you on a walk towards Tregew and the surrounding areas.

The 5.5km walk will focus on the variety of birds that can be spotted at Trelissick, as well as topics such as the great autumn migration. Cam will also share results from wildlife surveys conducted over the past 5 months.

The route is at a leisurely pace, with plenty of time for rest, enjoy the views and take photos. Please be advised that there is uneven ground and slopes throughout and the walk will involve steps. If you have binoculars please bring them along.

This walk is free and you don't need to book your space, just come along to Trelissick and meet us at 10.30am at the entrance to the parkland. Due to the nature of the birdwatching activity, only assistance dogs are permitted on this walk.
