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 July. We will be trialling an online ticketing system later this year and the process should morph seamlessly from booking via emails to ticketing.
July 19, Eastern Zennor.
Led by Mike Attwell. 10.30 to c16.30.
Parking will be available close to the Eagle’s Nest above Zennor (SW 466 387; W3W //////relay.zoned.expel) for a loop walk (c 3.5 miles, climbing c300 feet in total).
We will start by heading up past Carne Cottage to Zennor Hill to get an aerial view of the well-preserved field system in the Foage valley. From here we will cross the upland plateau on which stand the early neolithic cromlechs now known as Zennor and Sperris Quoits. The surface and shaft mining of Wheal Sperris are spread between the two. In Sperris Croft is the line of prehistoric round houses that appear to have been transhumance huts. Nearby is a rock with well defined cupmarks, presumed to be Bronze Age. We will complete the walk by returning to the cars via the less often visited Sperris ridge.
Bring lunch and wear sturdy boots and clothes. Booking is essential (see above).
