Cornwalls industrial heritage at its finest! Fabulous peaceful valley with a lovely tranquil atmosphere. Be aware if leaving the road to explore the trails it does get extremely muddy when it's been raining!

October 25, 2023, Tregaminion Church

Built between 1813 and 1815, the Tregaminion Chapel of Ease was created to save Menabilly parishioners the long walk to church in Tywardreath. Take a look above the door and you will spot a carving of the Rashleigh Arms that was found when the foundations for the church were being dug.

The grotto here was built in the late 18th century. Although you can't access it, you can see the octagonal folly from the beach. The area is called Polridmouth Bay which is pronounced Pridmouth.

September 20, 2023, Treffry Viaduct

An absolutely magical stretch of shared cycleway and footpath that follows the River Par on what was once an old tramway. You're surrounded by reminders of the Luxulyan Valley's historic past, with crumbling buildings, chimneys and Treffry's Viaduct which were all used in clay extraction here. Today, the route is blissfully peaceful, though the river does flow with quite some force alongside the path. Look out for dippers here.
