Fullscreen map

The route passes through St Neot towards the church then climbs up to the moorland of Berry Down via small lanes and footpaths. After crossing the moor, the walk descends into the river valley through bluebell woods and follows the wooded path along the top of a ravine. The route follows the river close to its confluence with the River Fowey and then follows the River Fowey to Treverbyn Mill where the mediaeval bridge building was traded for sins. The return route is via small lanes and tracks, ending at the London Inn.

Highlights

Pretty riverside scenery
Woodland carpeted with bluebells in spring
Quiet footpaths with plenty of wildlife and picnic spots

Considerations

One stretch of footpath through the woods is cut into the side of a steep bank and is very narrow with tree roots and stones to negotiate.

Dogs

Fields on the route are used for grazing (some for sheep, some for cattle). The steep flight of narrow wooden steps has been reported as inaccessible by some large dogs. Large dogs are also likely to need lifting over a couple of stiles on the route. There are also two walls with stone footholds that less confident dogs might need help with.

The walk is available through the iWalk Cornwall app for Apple and Android for £3.29 which each include everything listed here.

This removes worries about getting lost by tracking you using GPS, reminding you when you need to follow the next direction and warning you if you wander off the route.
