If you’re staying at Glynn Barton, a visit to Cardinham Woods is a must. Just a short drive away, this stunning woodland offers something for everyone, from adventurous trails to peaceful picnic spots. Here’s why Cardinham Woods should be on your to-do list:
- Family-Friendly Walking Trails
Cardinham Woods boasts stacks of walking trails suitable for all ages and abilities. The Lady Vale Walk is perfect for little legs, while the longer Lidcutt Valley Trail offers scenic views for those seeking a bit more adventure. - Cycle Through the Trees
Bring your bikes – or hire them from the fab Trail Munki just a mile away – to explore the woodland on two wheels. The dedicated cycling trails include the thrilling Bodmin Beast Trail for experienced riders or gentler family friendly routes. - Enjoy a Woodland Picnic
Pack a picnic and relax at one of the many scenic spots. The meadow near the riverbank is a favourite, offering peace and a chance to enjoy the sounds of nature. - Spot Wildlife
Keep your eyes peeled for woodland creatures, from squirrels and deer to birds like woodpeckers and nuthatches. It’s a great place for kids to connect with nature. Forestry England are always adding fun new trails to the woodland too – we’ve seen Zog and The Gruffalo pop up there in recent years so keep your eyes peeled. - Fuel Up at Woods Café
After your adventures, treat yourselves to a delicious snack or drink at the Woods Café. Their homemade cakes and Cornish cream teas are not to be missed!
