Parish Walk
5 August 2007
Take Lower Tynes, Dannon Chapel, Tregragon, and Gypsy Lane; add footpaths, lanes, cliff-top paths and tracks through pastures vibrant with flowers; mix with wide rural views and stunning seascapes - and you have the Parish Walk that took place on Sunday 5 August. The steep descent and climb out of the valley near Dannon Chapel, an abandoned hamlet now on National Trust Land, was particularly spectacular. Add delicious, and very welcome, refreshments at Tregragon Farm courtesy of Hester Warman and you have a thoroughly enjoyable walk. Twenty walkers and five dogs covered most of the six miles in fine weather, just making it back to St Teath before the drizzle became a downpour.

We are fortunate in having a wealth of footpaths in the parish, some better known and more regularly trodden than others. Were another Parish Walk to be arranged, there would appear to be a core of folk ready to participate.
If you would like to follow the course of our walk, a full description is here. Better still, perhaps you can suggest routes for another parish walk to Gill Jones 01208 850388 or email or go to the 'Contact us' section here. Our congratulations go to Gill for organising the walk and to Jen Tidd for helping Hester with refreshments at Tregragon.
