Following the huge success of our first Ranger Ramble earlier this month, we’re launching two new dates for rambles at Treffry Viaduct and Sancreed Beacon.
The walks involve uneven ground, steps and slopes. Please wear sensible footwear and appropriate clothing.
If you would like to book a place, we recommend doing so without delay to ensure you have a spot. Our members were given early access to book their places at this event and there are a limited number remaining. Numbers are restricted and places are available on a first-come-first-served basis.
These events have been part-funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Sancreed Beacon ‘In Bloom’
Friday 26th April | 1.30 – 5.00pm
Explore all that Spring has to offer around the historic landscape of Sancreed Beacon this April.
The afternoon will include a 90-minute guided walk exploring the bluebells at Sancreed Beacon, a cream tea and paper flower craft workshop. The walk will be led by Cornwall Heritage Trust’s Countryside Ranger, Hollie.
Located near Penzance, Sancreed Beacon has a wealth of flora, fauna and historic remains to explore, as well as a stunning view across Mount’s Bay.
Tickets are priced at £20 per person. All ages are welcome to attend and all materials for the craft workshop will be provided.
‘The Sounds of Spring’ at Treffry Viaduct
Tuesday 28th May | 9.00 – 10.00am
Learn how to interpret birdsong in the idyllic Luxulyan Valley surrounding Treffry Viaduct this May.
This hour-long guided walk will help you learn about bird species and their calls. The walk will be led by Cornwall Heritage Trust’s Countryside Ranger, Hollie.
Located near St Austell, this 19th-century viaduct was designed to carry both a tramway and a high-level water channel (known as a leat) across the Luxulyan Valley for local mining entrepreneur, Joseph Thomas Treffry. Once a hive of industrial activity, the site has very much been reclaimed by nature and is home to a wide variety of flora, fauna and historic remains.
Tickets are priced at £10 per person. All ages are welcome to attend.
