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 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.

A circular walk starting and finishing at Maenporth, the car park is now pay and display. The walk will follow designated footpaths, cross some roads, and also along residential pavements. I have suggested this walk to be a 'Moderate' walk as there are some stiles to negotiate, and the time is also dependent on personal pace.

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.

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.

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.

This circular walk provides a way to discover Flushing and Gillan creek past the first section in farmland (many stiles). Then you will enjoy views from the South West Coast path around Nare Point.

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 starts just off a main public transport route, enabling walkers who use Public Transport the opportunity to discover new places.
