'A golden hiding place!' But for who?

Grampound and Golden

'A golden hiding place!' But for who?

  • 5.5 miles approx, circular walk

  • Countryside 

  • Cafe & toilets

In our walk we start in the village of Grampound and follow country lanes to Creed church to find an interesting story about a former vicar of the parish. From there we head towards Golden. A remote and secluded area of Cornwall, rich in history, and where the first Seminary Priest, Cuthbert Mayne, was found, and captured for practicing the catholic mass in Elizabeth 1's reign.   


We conclude with a stroll through the nearby Trewithen Estate and follow a roman road back to Grampound! This circular walk is approximately 5.5 miles.

Our favourite bit of the walk is...

...walking through the Trewithen estate, and having a coffee and cake part way along!
