Lady Vale walk at Cardinham Woods
Lady Vale walk (Cornish: Kerdh Nans Arlodhes)
Cardinham Woods' most popular route is the streamside Lady Vale walk. The track follows the river upstream to Lady Vale Bridge, which takes its name from The Chapel of Our Lady that stood beside the river during the 12th century. Enjoy dappled shade and the sound of rippling water. There are plenty of dog dip spots along the stream.
The Lady Vale walk also features our Gruffalo sculptures.
For a shorter walk, turn left to cross the Centenary Bridge to return to the car park. This loop is 0.9 mile / 1.45km. The bridge can also be used to avoid the slope on the final stretch of the walk - rejoin the start of the trail and follow it back to the car park.
