You are invited to walk back into myth-time and hear the stories of this land in the places where they say they happened!
Part pilgrimage, part storytelling event, the walk will feature tales of wolves and kings, the last dragons of Cornwall, and the mermaid of the River Camel.
Follow in the footsteps of the saints, as we pass through fragments of Celtic rainforest, cross a haunted bridge, and visit the site of a sacred well.
Join Adam Skerrett (aka Mythwalker) on this guided walk from Little Petherick to Padstow, and experience the mythic landscape of Cornwall brought to life through the age-old power of the oral tradition.

The walk covers some of the terrain and stories that will be featured in his forthcoming book: 'Mythwalker.'
“Adam is exploring the terrain where myth and landscape collide. You may find him in the folds of a fairy tale or on the darkening path to the Grey Wethers stones.”
Dr Martin Shaw, storyteller, and mythologist.
"Adam has a heart that connects with the myths and legends of these isles and has walked their paths and knows their ancient stories."
Gaiea Sanskrit, singer
“Adam’s takes the audience on a spellbinding adventure of magic, mystery and fun! He brings forth the qualities of inspiration and mysticism like the Bards of the ancient traditions.”
