Free guided walk: Making for Morval

On Tuesday 22nd October, join professional Blue Badge tour guide Mark Camp for an autumnal walk up to the delightful Morval Church, hidden away in the centre of the old estate. Return down Holdencoombe and through Tregarland Woods, kicking up leaves as you go!

Update: walk now full.

Thanks for everyone’s interest and bookings!


The Walk

Mark will be waiting to greet you at Sandplace station at 11.55 (see below for train times). The walk is approximately 4 miles (3 hours’ walking time). The walk will finish in time to catch the 15.21 from Sandplace back to Liskeard.

It may/will be muddy, and steep in places, so please wear appropriate footwear and clothing. Bring a packed lunch.

Please note: dogs are not permitted on the walk.

The guided walk is free to attend, but you will need to buy train tickets as usual (see fares below) and book in with Mark by emailing walkaboutwest@btinternet.com to let him know how many people are in your party.
