A mostly circular walk from the Castle-an-dinas Iron Age hillfort with 360 degree views across Cornwall, then into the valley to the River Menalhyl, followed by wooded paths lined with primroses, bluebells and wild garlic, and lanes with vibrant wildflowers.

Highlights

  • 360-degree panoramic views from Castle-an-dinas
  • Pretty scenery along the River Menalhyl
  • Paths lined with primroses, bluebells and wild garlic in Spring

Considerations

  • During mid-late summer, the path leaving the castle can become overgrown with bracken and the paths along tree tunnels may get some nettle and bramble growth. Take a stick, and secateurs if you have them, to clear your way.
