Constantine to Scott's Quay

Constantine to Scott's Quay

There is a fallen tree across the creekside path between direction 18 and 19. There is a fork in the path before the fallen tree so at the fork, the higher path (further from the creek edge) can be used to bypass the tree.

A circular walk at Constantine through woods and to the creek on the Helford river where a bustling quarrying and mining industry operated in Victorian times but have now been reclaimed by nature.

A circular walk at Constantine through woods and to the creek on the Helford river where a bustling quarrying and mining industry operated in Victorian times but have now been reclaimed by nature.

Highlights

  • Bluebells and celandines in Bosahen Woods in spring
  • Views over Polwheveral Creek
  • Wildlife in the woodland and on the creeks

Considerations

  • In Scott's Wood, the path along the edge of the creek is very narrow and close to the edge in places. There is an alternative path a little further from the creek edge, marked with blue dots on the trees, which meets with the creek-side path where it enters the fields.
