programme. See General Info page for details.
p 5. There is no longer any B & B accommodation
in Dobwalls. Alternatives are Trenant and St Neot.
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

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 The Country Code printed in the booklet has been superceded by the new Countryside Code, refer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 entrance was closed on 22 February for culvert works, and will remain closed for approximately
18 weeks. Signs at either end of the diversion show the alternative route by road, which entails no additional overall distance.
Southbound travellers approaching from Halamiling should turn left along the road at Lesnewth, bear right at the only junction,
and rejoin the Way at Hallwell Plantation. Northbound walkers should continue along the road past Tregrylls driveway, and
go straight ahead at the only junction to rejoin the Way opposite Lesnewth Church. (amended 14 March 2010 - thanks to Mike
and Yann for the info).
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 (currently closed for redevelopment).
