Join Cornwall Heritage Trust for a guided walk exploring the origins, ecology and management of the ancient hedges surrounding Duloe Stone Circle. The walk will be led by traditional rural skills expert, Jeremy Weiss from Proper Edges.

Location: Duloe Stone Circle, Duloe, PL14 4PN – What3Words: ///energetic.narrates.scornful

Price: £12 per person

Cornwall Heritage Trust members were given exclusive early access to book their places for this event and places are now extremely limited.

The walk will explore how and when hedges first appeared and what has happened to them since. You’ll discover the ways they support a huge variety of wildlife, why they are important to humans, and what management techniques are required to keep them in good shape for the future.

The only Cornish monument of its kind to be constructed entirely from white quartz, Duloe Stone Circle is located at the southern end of the village of Duloe between Liskeard and Looe. It is Cornwall’s smallest known stone circle and its size compared with that of the stones is what makes the experience of visiting there so special.

Despite much research, stone circles are still mysterious sites. In Cornwall, they generally date from the later third and early second millennia BCE and are believed to have been gathering places for communities. It is one of the 16 historic sites cared for by Cornwall Heritage Trust.

All ages are welcome to attend.

The walk involves uneven ground, steps and slopes. Please wear sensible footwear and appropriate clothing.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

This event is in aid of Cornwall Heritage Trust – the small, independent charity protecting Cornwall’s heritage for everyone.
