A loop walk, starting at the water tank on Lanner Hill, then walking past Carn Marth open-air theatre, Figgy Dowdy's Well, and up to Carn Marth with the far-reaching views of the North and South Coast of the County. The route gives an option to shorten the route if required.

Starting at the water tank, on Lanner Hill, then walking past Carn Marth open-air theatre, Figgy Dowdy's Well, and up to Carn Marth with the far-reaching views of the North and South Coast of the county. The route then follows designated footpaths down to Carharrack, following a road back to Lanner and then climbing back up the valley to the disused rail track, returning to the start. This walk could be completed in two sections (S) to (4), catch a convenient bus back towards Redruth, and the bus stop at the top of the hill. The second leg (E) on a reverse path to (4), again catching the bus, as above. The time taken will depend on the pace and time spent exploring the area This is a moderate walk due to the climb up from the Lanner valley, so late in the walk.

This walk starts just off a main public transport route, enabling walkers who use Public Transport the opportunity to discover new places. A walk from Illogan Highway along some old mining trails, passing some old mine workings. With many places to explore and see. Alternative route options are possible. See the 'Description.'

The walking trail starts in nearby Redruth, known as the Tolgus Trail. This section starts in the Cornwall Gold car park. The trail follows an old mining stream down the valley before meeting up with an old mining tramway, which in its day went from Portreath to Devoran on the south coast. The old mining works, now a visitor attraction, features exhibitions of mining history, other attractions, and a café.

A circular route around Stithians Reservoir. For the purpose of this walk and description, the route is aligned in an anti-clockwise direction.

A loop walk, starting at the free car park by Stithians Dam. There is an option to start along the main road to Stithians, between (4) and (5), a bus route through Stithians. The route follows made-up roads, country tracks, and designated footpaths, there are stiles, narrow gates and the need to climb over hedge steps.

This walk starts and finishes at Stithians Dam car park, Cornwall UK, taking in the countryside around the small Cornish village of Stithians. You will be walking on track and country lanes. However, as this is a circular route, could be started at any point, where access is permissible.

A circular walk takes you to some of Cornwall's mining heritage. This route uses permissible cycle tracks and public highways.

The walk starts in a free car park (with height restrictions) and follows some of the Great Flat Lode Trail, into Churchtown and Carn Brea Village. The route then leads back onto the Flat Lode Trail for a short period, then climbs up for the views on to the Carn, before descending down As this is a circular route, the choice of which way to go is yours; however, in my view, the route plot offers the best way. I have listed this route as Moderate purely due to the number of obstacles to overcome.

From the well-published Great Flat Lode Trail, with the whole area having a history of mining for tin and copper, it is perhaps no surprise that there are many routes across the whole area, where perhaps the miners used to get from their homes to the mines where they worked. It's when walking on such paths, one can only wonder about the hard work and hours they toiled. That is where we now see green fields where once was a patchwork of mining activities. This walk passes through some hamlets where perhaps the miners lived.

This walk takes you around, the Mount Hawke area. Take in some of the old mines worked areas, possibly walking along some of the many miner's tracks. Pass by some of the older parts of Mount Hawke and return down the valley passing the Cloutie Well.

The walk starts in a car park near the Travelodge, a small parking area nearest the main road, there are no parking restrictions (at the time of writing). The walk follows designated footpaths, country roads, and crosses a main road. The walk has been rated as 'Moderate' due to the walk back up the hill to finish. Timing is only a guide, and time should added for height gain, and exploring the area.

Tehidy Woods is a former woodland that surrounds a large country house, now a Country Park, with many woodland trails. Throughout the woods, there are a variety of trees, including a Beech Tree with a twisted trunk, one of the 70 different trees in the country, forming the'Queens Green Canopy', commemorating the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

A section of the Southwest Coast Path to the old mine workings of Wheal Charlotte, with views looking over Chapel Porth in the valley below. Looking further up the coast to more disused mine workings, perched on the edge of the cliff side. On low spring tides, the remains of a shipwreck can be seen. The walk then leads inland to near Towan Cross, where a small detour leads to a country public house.

Walking along a section of the South West Coast Path, a section which could be described as the longest outdoor staircase in the southwest. Then passing an interesting old mining site, with many ruins to explore. The route then follows a trail inland to meet up with another long-distance walk, walking part of the Coast to Coast, before heading back to the start. The walk, in effect, is around an old RAF Portreath airfield, which had an interesting past during the Cold War, then known as Nancekuke, and now the RAF's again. RRH Portreath with a Fire Service training site.

Starting at the town's beach car park, the walk initially walking across the beach to the western side, subject to the tides climbs onto Battery Hill, then follows a Green Lane. Taking in the view as the lane leads out to the main road, the walk then works its way to Feadon Lane footpath, which skirts a holiday complex, leading to the Illogan Woods, and returning to Portreath.
