Overview

We’ll start from Lydford and head gradually uphill to Wheal Jewell Reservoir where we’ll stop for a coffee break. We’ll then walk towards Wheal Betsy and then up Gibbet Hill. A mix of historical sights and an opportunity to take a closer look at places you drive past on the A386.

Moorland tracks and paths, ups and downs. May be muddy in places after rain.

Bring a drink for our coffee stop. Opportunity for refreshment after the walk at the National Trust cafe at the car park.

Book by text to walk leader. Please do not email.
