IWN Ramblers: Lanhydrock Gardens Circular Walk With Caroline & Shirley

Join IWN Ramblers for a relaxed autumn walk through the beautiful grounds of Lanhydrock, led by Caroline & Shirley.

This circular route takes us through the historic estate, passing the Victorian Lanhydrock House and its gardens before exploring woodland trails and the banks of the River Fowey. Along the way, we'll also have the opportunity to see the old Victorian swimming pool once used by the Agar-Robartes children.

About the Walk

This is a 3–4 mile circular walk through the varied landscape of the Lanhydrock estate, a chance to explore, enjoy the autumn landscape and walk together.

Expect a mixture of established trails and grassy paths, woodland, moderate hills and some uneven ground. We'll take the walk at a comfortable pace, with time to enjoy the surroundings and make sure the group stays together.
