Please note that all walks now require advance booking, with a maximum number restricted to 30. This is due in part to health and safety concerns, as we often walk in difficult conditions, both weather and terrain.
If you would like to join a walk please contact the coordinator of the CAS Events Group, Mike Attwell, via the email address
ZXZlbnRzIHwgY29ybmlzaGFyY2hhZW9sb2d5ICEgb3JnICEgdWs=. Bookings will be accepted from the 1st of August. We will be trialling an online ticketing system later this year and the process should morph seamlessly from booking via emails to ticketing.
August 16, Twelve Men’s Moor, North Hill and Linkinhorne.
Led by Pete Herring and Carolyn Kennett, 10.30 to c 16.30. Places can be booked from 1 August.
Meet at the end of the road by Bowdanoddon at SX 2584 7583; W3W ///cleanest.develops.rashers. As usual on the Moor, bring a layer extra to what you think you need, and sturdy waterproof boots (and clothes!). Also bring lunch.
An ancient common, with many prehistoric remains (long cairn, round cairns, roundhouses and fields, cists, propped stones and more) and in good condition because of its long history of pastoral use. Transhumance huts too. Some interesting industrial impositions, including mining and granite quarrying, and the extension of the Liskeard and Caradon Railway that served them, now all evocatively abandoned, with the exception of Bearah granite quarry. The Victorian fleur des lys markings that warned stone-splitters off the valued tors and logan stones. A beautiful, elevated world. We will weave around the glorious granite outcrops of Trewortha, Kilmar, Bearah and Sharp Tors, and so see the three cairns of Langstone Downs. If time allows, we may step over the Withey Brook to look around Little Siblyback on Newel Tor, with its roundhouses and postmedieval farmstead.
Booking will be essential (see above).
