Footpath to Heligan Gardens runs from just beyond the children’s play area (on road out towards St Austell) and is approximately 1½ miles from where it leaves the road. |
|
|
|
|||||||||
|
The path is uphill through woods and farmland and you should allow 50 minutes there & 40 back (downhill!). The path can be muddy in places after heavy rain (cycle track is a little longer but easier in wet weather). |
