B & B accommodation at Little Keasts B & B, just south of the

Map facing p
10 Just to the south of the Dairy Crest Factory is the newly-opened
Cornwall at War Museum, well worth
a visit if you're walking the Way at a leisurely pace. Teas and coffees are available! It's only open during
the summer - for details of entry fees and opening times click on the link:

Back Cover. The Country Code printed in the booklet has been superceded by the new Countryside Code, refer
to General Info section for details. The address given for reporting problems concerning public rights of way is no longer
correct, and I suggest any such problems should be reported to me in the first instance.

Route
alterations:
NORTH OF THE MOOR
pp 8/9. The footpath between Lesnewth
Church and the Tregrylls Driveway has now been fully reinstated following its closure for culvert works.
BODMIN
MOOR
p 12. The bearing given for the southbound leg across the moor from the Tremail junction to Lanlavery
Rock and on to the forest gate is incorrect - it should read 205°. My thanks to David
James for pointing that out. (amended 13 July 08)
p 18. Several walkers have reported locked gates
in the vicinity of Dozmary Pool - one on the eastern shore of the pool itself, the other at the southern end of Ten Acre Lane
(marked B on map). These have been locked to control the movement of cattle, so for the time being you just have to climb
over them! (added 23 May 09)
SOUTH OF THE MOOR
pp 24/25. Regrettably the footpath
between Havett Farm and Dobwalls has been permanently closed as a result of the construction of the Dobwalls Bypass. It means
a bit more road walking, although this incurs no greater distance. Simply follow the road shown in the guidebook
past the Adventure Park (now closed for redevelopment). (amended 13 July 08)
pp 28/29. Not so much an
alteration as a word of caution: the footpath sign near the Ford shown on the map points up the lane. Follow the
lane for only a few yards, then turn right into the field to follow the riverside path, as indicated on the map.
Several walkers report that they have followed the sign up the lane, and then had to come all the way back down again. (added
22 June 10)
