New footpath at Lamledra Farm, Gorran Haven
Lamledra Farm Estate have teamed up with the National Trust to open up a new footpath through Mariella’s Wood for walkers near Gorran Haven.
The National Trust and the owners of the Lamledra Farm Estate have opened a permissive path that offers new walks to visitors and residents enjoying this beautiful area just south of Gorran Haven.
The path, just under a mile long, starts near the National Trust Lamledra car park, using an green lane which the ranger team had to clear of brambles, crosses a field and then descends through woodland to join up with an existing right of way. This now creates a stunning circular walk down to Gorran Haven and back by the coast. Walkers can also turn left and climb up to Treveague Farm and on to the Dodman, or double back to the car park to make another circular walk. Once hidden views over Gorran Haven are now opened up again and two new kissing gates make the footpath easy for all to use.
Adrian and Cassandra Phillips, who are trustees for the farm estate, said they were delighted that the Trust was willing to join them in this project. ‘We could not have done it on our own land alone. With the help of the Trust, we have been able to open up a lovely area for the benefit visitors and residents.’
Phil White, Lead Ranger for the National Trust says ‘This project was a fantastic opportunity to work in partnership with Lamledra Farm Estate to create a wonderful new footpath providing a link between Gorran and the coast path. The National Trust section of the path uses a historic green lane which had lost its purpose and fallen into disuse, becoming overgrown and impassable. Clearing the lane has revealed some fine stretches of Cornish hedge along with an old well. Thanks to the vision of Mr and Mrs Phillips, the lane has now regained its identity, forming part of this new path which hopefully will be enjoyed by both locals and visitors for many years to come.’
