We set out intending to do the walk http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-lanhydrock-great_wood_and_the_avenue-walk.pdf. First we looked around the gardens around Lanhydrock House. There were some camelias out and an ocassional rhododendrum. The magnolias in the magnolia tunnel were in bud but had some time to go before coming into flower.
The walk goes along the edge of the Great Wood. There were masses of bluebell leaves and in May I am sure it will look magnificent. After walking to the end of Lady's Walk we decided to continue on down the footpath towards Respryn. We soon came to the River Fowey and walked along the river until we came to Respryn Bridge. Instead of going up The Avenue we continued on and then walked through the woods and came up to the car park.
This is a walk that should be done in May when the bluebells are out. I would also like to walk along the River Fowey towards Lostwithiel.
