Great and easy way to get from Falmouth to Penryn. Lovely views and for most of it you are not on busy roads....

Love this walk, it is a bit uneven and goes through rough terrain, you couldn't do this in a wheel chair for example. Lovely walk though with great views and a mix of great scenery. You can get a ferry in to Falmouth or simply stop at Flushing....

A quick and easy way for all to get from Penryn to Falmouth, it doesn't take much longer if you walk the route adjacent to the estuary though and that has less traffic and has better views....

Not too many hills, the terrain was a nice mix of footpaths, backroads and grassy fields. It was very peaceful and rural, saw more rabbits than people, and the people I did see were all friendly and approachable as is often the case in rural areas....

Jacob Wright

It is overall a fantastic walk, with great views, and is generally easily to follow and navigate....

Super easy and picturesque route between Penryn and Falmouth. Falmouth is such a great destination too....

Public transport options: I got to the start of the walk by train to Penryn station; you could then get the train back from Falmouth Town or Penmere stations. You can also reach Penryn and Falmouth by bus....

The ferry from Falmouth is cheap and regular, but the last one is at 5 o’clock, so the alternative route along roads is definitely required....

Excellent short walk with beautiful scenery echoing much of what has been written in the previous two reviews. The only update is that as of May 2023 the fare for the Flushing Ferry is £4....

There are a few sections which are on roads, particularly leaving Calenick and walking along the bypass between Playing Place and Carnon Downs which are the reasons for three stars. There were opportunities to get food from the petrol station by Playing Place and you go past the Norway Inn pub in Perranarworthal. I would walk this route again....

Stithians and Lanner, which are passed through on the route also have shops and other useful facilities if required. After descending into Lanner, there is another fairly steep climb on quiet roads, before a more gentle finish heading into Redruth....

A couple of road sections without footpaths and with potential for fast travelling traffic require caution and combined with the general reliance on roads over footpaths this is why I ultimately have given it three stars. But overall route choice makes sense balancing directness with everything else and the majority is pleasant and enjoyable walking....

Very enjoyable route taking in some picturesque and quite country lanes especially around Kennall Vale, and rewarding height gained with some impressive views, particularly of Carn Brea when coming in to Redruth....

Lovely short walk on the north side of the river Penryn to Flushing, where you can catch a ferry to Falmouth (£3.50 in May 2022). Plenty of public transport options back to the start point....

Charles Hedley

Overall a very pleasant, fairly easy walk on lanes, tracks and open fields. Train travel back to start point via Truro available....

At high tide these may not be passable but alternative route sections are available. The Flushing Ferry runs 7 days a week, hourly in the winter and every 30 minutes in the summer until 4pm winter/ 5pm summer....

Almost all the route is on roads...

There is a pub in Perranarworthal, shop and pub in Perranwell, pub in Devoran and shop in Playing Place on the route, so plenty of options for refreshments....
