iwalkcornwall.co.uk have some great walks in the area including this lovely circular three and a half mile ramble following leats and horse-drawn tramways through the World Heritage site of the Luxulyan Valley. Recommended in guide books as early as the 1920's as "one of the most glorious walks in all Cornwall" take a look at the link for further details.
Situated in south east Cornwall with miles of walks through the hidden steep-sided thickly-wooded River Par valley, the Luxulyan Valley was designated a World Heritage Site in 2006 due to its major concentration of industrial remains, the majority of which are as a result of the work of Joseph Treffry (1782 -1850). Treffry owned one of the largest copper mines which at its peak was worked by 17 water wheels and six steam engines. Treffry's viaduct, the abundant industrial remains and the breathtaking natural beauty of this area make it a truly unique site in the South West.
A 4 mile circular walk with harbour views, woodland walks and two ferry rides, starting in either Bodinnick, Polruan or Fowey and taking you around all three. It's a bit up and downy, with uneven terrain, but plenty of rest stops along the way.
A lovely four mile hike which should take about one and a half hours but will no doubt take longer if you are tempted to linger at some of the beaches on the way (be aware of incoming tides). The footpath is narrow and steep in places and care is need in wet weather.
This walk forms part of The Saints' Way and is great for those of you that are feeling energetic!
Starting in Polruan and winding through woodland along the creek and coast, taking in ancient Lanteglos. It's around 4 miles of good paths,
