Overview

Meeting on road by Peter Tavy church and taking circular walk over Boulters Tor before crossing the River Tavy to Horndon and walking over Gibbet Hill. The passing centrally through Mary Tavy and on Route 27 back to Peter Tavy.

Strenuous parts as 2 hill climbs but super views, weather permitting, and great time of year for wild flowers. Lunch stop provisionally planned at the NT owned pumping station to Wheal Betsy.
