Fal River Cottage  (in Malpas) is ideal for those planning a walking holiday in Cornwall.

The walk from Malpas to Truro is a great walk for a sunny day. You don’t need to walk on the road long as there is a path that drops down below the road once you leave Malpas.

Trennick Mill represents the half way point of the walk and is a good place to stop for refreshments.

Boscawen Park is across the road from Trennick Mill and has some lovely flower beds. The park has an awesome play ground which makes it an ideal destination in it’s own right for couples with children.

Orientation / Practical Information

To start the walk, Just turn right as you exit Fal River Cottage and walk along the road (past the pub). The foot path itself starts once you leave Malpas village (See pics below).

When returning from Truro, you have the option of catching a bus – See the Timetable
