Camel Trail: Dunmere to Grogley Halt

Five and a third miles along the wooded upper Camel valley on the old railway and back by quiet lanes, two and a quarter hours and almost dead level throughout. Start at the Camel Trail car park at Dunmere, just off the A389 west of Bodmin, which is free and rarely full outside cycle-hire season. There are no stiles at all, which makes it a good route for an elderly or arthritic dog, and the river is easy to reach for a drink or a swim; a good deal of the route shares the trail with cyclists or uses lanes, so this is largely lead walking.

Off-lead allowed Water bowls Livestock — leads on

Four and a half miles through Forestry England conifer and broadleaf along two streams, two and a half hours with 180 metres of climbing on well-surfaced forest tracks that stay walkable in winter. The car park is signed off the A38 east of Bodmin and has toilets, the Woods Cafe and, unusually, a dog wash; parking is charged by the hour with an early-bird rate before half past ten. Forestry England ask for dogs to be kept close and in sight because the woods are ringed by farmland and livestock, and four wooden stiles interrupt the route: one is wired over and needs dogs lifted, the other three have gaps alongside.

Off-lead allowed Water bowls

Just under four miles round the Lanhydrock estate and down to the Fowey at Respryn, two hours with 110 metres of climbing on estate drives, parkland and riverside path. Park in the large National Trust car park, free to members and charged otherwise, and note that you can do this walk without paying to enter the house or gardens. Described as easy for dogs: no stiles at all, no kissing gates, and most of it can be walked off lead with the exception of the road crossings and the main entrance at the end; the parkland is grazed occasionally and one narrow footbridge can be bypassed on the cycle trail.
