Pelynt Circular Walk

Featuring lovely forests, open farmland, charming villages, and a relaxing riverside setting, the Pelynt Circular Walk is a great route if you are looking to get a bit of everything. Walkers should take note that the majority of the route follows along quiet country roadways, so make sure to wear appropriate footwear and exercise caution in regards to passing vehicles.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the northeast along the road to eventually reach the village of Pelynt. From here, you will turn right along Summer Lane/B3349 and pass by the Jubilee Inn, which is a great spot for some mid-walk refreshments. Shortly after the inn, turn left along Beacons Road and follow it east until you meet up with the West Looe River.

After descending the hillside and arriving at the riverbank, you will follow the road as it turns north and runs parallel to the water, passing through a wooded valley until you arrive at a small building on the edge of the wood. Turning left here, you will make your way up the hillside in a southwestern direction, eventually meeting up with a road that will lead you south into the village of Pelynt. From here, you can take some time exploring the quaint village, or simply head back along the road from the initial stretch of your walk to return to your vehicle.
