Terrain & Tide Warnings

Crucial Note on Tides: The path along the edge of the River Gannel is entirely submerged for a couple of hours on either side of high tide. You must check the tide times before setting off. If the tide is in, you cannot walk the river edge and will be forced up onto the higher (often overgrown) banks or inland lanes. The inland return section utilizes grassy footpaths which can become very boggy after wet weather. Sturdy, waterproof boots are essential.
