Lanhydrock to Respryn circular walk

Lanhydrock to Respryn

A circular walk through the mature broadleaf woodland in the less well-known areas of the Lanhydrock estate, through bluebell woods and along the River Fowey, past the mediaeval bridge at Respryn, built after numerous prayers for safe passage in the ford-side chapel, had not resulted in the desired outcome.

The walk begins in the Lanhydrock main car park but follows paths away from the house into Hart Wood and through the broadleaf woodland to reach the horse and coach route from Lanhydrock to the railway station. The walk continues along the River Fowey to Respryn Bridge and follows the driveway to the gatehouse of the Lanhydrock park. From here the route turns through the Great Wood and follows the track towards Maudlin to return via the woodland gardens and Lanhydrock House.
