It is the perfect location for spectacular coastal walks and convivial winter breaks. A courtesy car and driver meets guests at the station or airport. The Nare, Cornwall’s highest rated hotel for over 20 years, is renowned for its stunning sea views and unobtrusive, traditional service. Open all year.

FAL RIVER WALKING FESTIVAL FROM THE ROSELAND TO HELFORD
FAL MUSSEL CARD ADVERT Dear Walkers, Cornwall has received much publicity for its many tourist attractions; Eden, Tate, Maritime Museum etc. However on this occasion we are celebrating a well established and distinctly more natural attraction, its coastline. Arguably Cornwall’s unique selling point. Surely there is no better way to really appreciate its inherent and invigorating beauty than by taking a good long walk! The Helford, Fal and Roseland areas are blessed with some of the most stunning and unspoilt sections of coast and so it seemed a natural and obvious location to start a walking festival. Likewise it is appropriate for The Nare Hotel, given its enviable coastal position, to sponsor and host the annual autumn walking festival. I am delighted to once again join Tim Light and the Fal River crew, with our spaniels of course, to launch this year’s festival on Friday 19th October since it is something I am really keen to see established. Many of the walks are being linked using ferries by way of The Carrick Roads, the highway of past times formed by the world’s third largest natural deep water harbour – The Fal River. It is no surprise then that charming pubs and villages are joined by footpaths and byways that meander down to the river. In the guests’ study at The Nare there hangs a map depicting the 1950’s acquisition of land around Nare Head by The National Trust. The late Michael Trinick was the inspiration and driving force who set about purchasing for The Trust sections of coastal land, where possible “up to 2 fields in,” all the way around the Cornish coast. What foresight, because much of www.falriver.co.uk/walkingfestival
Surely there is no better way to really appreciate Cornwall’s inherent invigorating beauty than by taking a good long walk!
the land we will be walking on during this festival is protected and owned by The Trust today. It is no surprise then, as an area of natural beauty, that the Nare Head walk has been shortlisted as 1 of the top 10 walks in the UK. These walks would not have come together without the help of Paul Simmons (walkitcornwall), technical advisor and source of much knowledge. If possible do join him on one of his guided walks – for he is truly inspirational – or download the details of a specific walk to your mobile with a quick and easy QR code. This year’s challenge is to complete the Two Heads Walk taking in St Anthony’s Head, Nare Head and all the creeks inbetween. I really hope this festival continues to be enjoyed by our many visitors and locals alike; not only during the fortnight festival but all year round. And, if it gets its boots on, could quite literally be paced out around the whole of Cornwall’s 258 mile coastline - the county’s largest, free attraction!

WELCOME TO THE FESTIVAL
FESTIVAL CONTENTS Autumn is the perfect time of year to celebrate walking in this beautiful corner of the world.
As the first proper gales charge in from the Atlantic, the river’s dense woodlands begin to change colour and the summer madness comes to a restful end, we enter my favourite time of year in Cornwall: autumn.
Photography:
A time that welcomes log fires, real ale, hearty suppers and windswept beaches; autumn is the perfect opportunity for long cliff top walks, woodland strolls and Sunday afternoon wanders.
Cornwall Council
It is the perfect time of year to celebrate walking in this beautiful corner of the world and I’m delighted that the Fal River Autumn Walking Festival, sponsored by The Nare, is back for its second year. This unique two-week festival delivers a walk for everyone, taking in the beauty of the Roseland, the Fal River and the Helford. From dramatic cliff top paths to sheltered woodland trails, we have over 50 walks that will entice you to don your walking shoes and explore some of the most breathtaking landscapes the county has to offer.

PREPARATION AND WALKING SAFETY
Walking in this part of Cornwall is one of life’s great joys. There is unrivalled variation in the walks on offer, from the tranquility of woodland glades to the high drama of rugged cliff tops, however there are two things that remain constant through all the walks: preparation and safety.
Don’t forget your Fal Mussel Card
n Some routes will take you onto the road. Make sure you face the oncoming traffic and are aware of your surroundings. n A basic first aid kit should be in your pack for any walks
which are likely to last all day. n Be a green walker and look after your surroundings. Take
Our top tips are designed to ensure you have the best possible walking experience and we recommend following them before you embark on any of the walks, particularly our self-guided ones. n Don’t leave home without a map. You can pick up a copy
of our area map for just £3 which is best used hand in hand with an Ordnance Survey map. n Wear suitable footwear and clothing. Make sure your shoes are sturdy and have a good grip. We like to wear layers when we’re walking then we’re never too hot or too cold. Waterproofs are a must if it looks like rain (check the forecast before you go) and so is a hat and sun cream if the sun is shining. n Fuel up. Make sure you have plenty of water with you if
you’re taking on one of our longer walks. A hot thermos (tea, coffee or soup!) is always a treat on a cold day. High-energy snacks and a packed lunch should be an ever present in your day sack. n If you are walking on your own make sure you tell some-
one where you are going, what your route is and what time you expect to be finished. We recommend walking in groups where possible. www.falriver.co.uk/walkingfestival
any litter home with you, stick to paths, keep dogs under control and don’t disturb livestock. With the Fal Mussel Card you can even leave the car at home. n All of our walks take in stunning scenery. Why not take a
camera with you and share your pics with us? E-mail them to info@falriver.co.uk and we’ll put them up on the Fal River Autumn Walking Festival website. Disclaimer
