Walk 6 - Antony House

We met outside devon and cornwall refugee support (DCRS). We caught the 81a bus to Antony House. Antony House is in Cornwall and you have get the Torpoint car ferry to get there.

 

We walked from the bus stop (Great Park) to Antony House. The path took us along a tree lined lane. At Antony House we were met by Brian. He works for the National Trust and was our guide for the day.

 

The house was very grand and is 300 years old. The gardens were lovely. We walked through formal gardens onto a woodland garden. Brian showed us many interesting trees and plants...from a Gingko Bilabo (good for the mind) to a giant Redwood. We tasted wild garlic.

 

We had lunch in the education centre before leaving to catch the bus back to Plymouth.

 

A big thank you to Brian and Antony House for making this walk really interesting and enjoyable.

Walk 5 - Mount Edgecumbe to Kingsand/Cawsand

A group of 16 people finally managed to walk from Mount Edgecumbe gardens to the small Cornish fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand. It has taken three attempts to walk this walk! The weather in Plymouth has been very cold and wet during March and early April. This walk needed a good bright sunny day as the views out to sea are magnificent. On the 19th April - the weather was just right.

 

 We walked from START to the Cremyll Ferry. We took the ferry over to Cornwall to the Mount Edgecumbe estate.

 

The gardens were lovely. Magnolias, Camellias and Rhododendrons were in flower. We saw some very old cork trees with soft spongy bark. The ground was covered in wild leek - the smell of garlic was everywhere.

 

 

Our path took us up, over and through the deer park. You could look back and see the whole of Plymouth in front of you. We walked along the coastal path and had lunch just outside Kingsand. The sun was shining all the time

 

 

We caught the bus back to the ferry, and the ferry back to Plymouth.
