Join us for a leisurely walk along Mount's Bay while sharing stories about past and present climate changes, with a lunch break half way.

Join us on Saturday 3rd April 2027 for a historical geography themed walk in Mount’s Bay, "Past and Present Climate Stories From Mount's Bay".

During the event, we will delve into the rich local stories there surrounding the submerged forest, the historical impact of tsunamis, and the development of new flood defences. This event was immensely successful last year and has been enhanced to provide an expanded experience, we would love to see you there!

The £5 Climate Walk 10:45- 2:45 booking ticket is non-refundable, with a chance to stop an hour for a lunch break and a chat at Longrock (Mount View Hotel, Mexcio Inn or a packed lunch - we have 1 hour for you to enjoy your lunch).

Here's what a few people said after the last Mounts Bay event:

“Incredibly fascinating talk brilliantly told.”

“Absolutely fascinating walk/talk. Informative, interesting & wow factor. Just enough of a walk to feel like we’d had a walk but short and flat enough to be inclusive to all ages and abilities.”

“Luci was entertaining, interesting & comprehensive. She brought stories that I had not known of alive for me and made me consider even more how best I can slow down climate change.”

This is event was made possible by Shaping Climate Vision CIC and was funded by the Lottery Community Fund. For information about supported Climate Talks to get you going on the right things to do visit https://climatevision.co.uk/shaping-cv/
