Idless Woods — Attraction in Kenwyn

Hills, water stream, multiple types of trees, and history these woods have all for outdoors lovers.

These woods are open to cyclists too. So, you can bring your cycles with you. The car park is free but it can get full during the holiday or on a good sunny day. There are a lot of spaces for a picnic or to sit down and enjoy nature. There are a lot of woodland photography opportunities on a moody day or in autumn. There is a cafe at the enterance for coffee and drinks.

Now a couple of downsides, I think there is a no “dogs on the lead” rule in the park, I didn’t see any notice board, which is fine but we had three encounters with big dogs who were far away from the owners. One of them was very aggressive and chased our kids. And one dog run from the water stream and shaked himself in front of us and gave muddy showers to all of us. But luckily we are at the end of the walk and I had extra clothes in my car to change.

There were not many maps for the navigation, I have to use the all trails app for the navigation.

Beautiful bluebells in May add a splash of vibrant colour as you walk through the trees.

Small outdoor café near car park entrance serves hot & cold drinks and a selection of food. Open air seating and a small covered area.

Free car park. No...

Great circular walk split into 2 main sections: a lower path which runs alongside a stream, good tree cover here, and the 2nd half is a wide stone path up high, not much tree cover here, relatively flat but just one steeper hill to reach flat ground again. Would recommend for an easy walk. It was very quiet, didn’t see many others at all, but we did go on a weekday around midday. Free carpark which is great, but no bins so you have to take dog poo away with you. No amenities. Took us around 2 hours walking at a...
