This is a great walk - we walked today from St Mawes to Truro....

As has also been mentioned there is some road walking on the Roseland side of the King Harry Ferry, plus I found there were two points between St Mawes and St Just in Roseland where it was useful to have the GPS info to check direction....

Paul Haines

This is very much a walk of two halves making it difficult to rate but unfortunately on balance I can’t recommend this route due to safety concerns about the first half which is a particular shame as the second half between Tresillian and Probus is excellent....

The recommendation for this walk, which is probably my favourite slow-way so far, is caveated that about a quarter of it is on roads without pavements. They are, however, relatively quiet, particularly on the approach and exit from the ferry. It's also a lot of up and down, which I enjoyed a lot, but not everyone's cup of tea....

There are some sections of paved road, which became more common nearer Truro, but these were all quiet enough. Later on the roads are generally a bit more enclosed by trees, so views are reduced, but the section coming across Carrine Common with Truro on the horizon was beautiful....

Redruth and Truro both have plenty of ammenities and onward travel options so are good start and end points. Carharrack and Twelveheads serve as good places to stop on the route if required....

A 4 / 5 star route apart from the road walking section so I have marked it down....

Slow Ways Darren

Redtru2 has wide easy paths near Truro round the river fowey and on the Newham Trail....

I walked this route from Probus, a handsome spacious village where I was welcomed at the Hawkins Arms with a full glass and the opportunity to charge my phone....

There's a small diversion to gwenap pit which is worth it if that's your thing....

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....

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....

JTinsley

It felt like the majority of the walk was alongside/on roads, but there is still a good chunk of off road route too. - There is an option to turn off the main road through Tresillian (A390) earilier than the route indicates, to take a public right of way across a reedbed and rejoin the road into Truro. Despite the issue with the busy lane at the end of the walk, it is still a good option for entering Truro in a direct way that avoids "main" roads...

Shortly after Twelveheads we saw signs for the National Cycle Route No 3 and followed that to Redruth as time was short and the footpath more challenging to follow....

Paul Haines

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....

The roads following the King Harry Ferry can get busy, so care is needed, but quite often the cars come in groups as they leave from the ferry....

Paul Haines

An improvement to avoid B3289 west of King Harry would be to walk the wide footpath along the south bank of Lamouth Creek....

Delmonte

2 cafes at the halfway point and lots of interesting things to see....

David Bennett

This route has some pleasant sections, but does include a lot of on-road sections, one of which is dangerous. There is a section of disused tip GR SW 783502 where the footpath is obscure due to overgrowth and there are hidden pits filled with water...
