Overview

Jill will be leading a circular walk around the tributary valleys of the River Ottery and Kensey between three of Cornwall's least-well-known mediaeval churches - Tremaine, Treneglos and Tresmeer.  Walking along quiet lanes and fields with great views of the surrounding countryside. 

From Tremaine church, the route crosses the tributary valleys of the River Ottery criss-crossing the trackbed of the old North Cornwall railway to reach Treneglos church. The walk then crosses into the valley of Launceston's River Kensey, close to its source on the Badgall Downs and follows the valley down river to reach Tresmeer.

The gradients are relatively gentle for the majority of the route with a couple of steady climbs, making the walk easy to moderate.

Following the walk there is the option of a Sunday carvery (one meat £9.99) at the Old Wainhouse Country Inn at Wainhouse Corner. Please book at the same time as the walk by no later than Thursday May 1 if you wish to reserve a seat for a roast lunch.
