Jericho Valley & Blue Hills

Inland Water
Walk Leader

Capacity
6
A stream running through a valley

The Jericho Valley and Blue Hills walk takes in the wonderful location near Trevellas Cove, St Agnes, with its pretty stream curving its way through a wooded valley and down to the sea.

You can uncover the area's tin mining past with iconic engine houses or even become detective and uncover the mysterious tale of the Dog King!

Waterscapes and nature-based photographic opportunities abound. It's a chance to look back from the shoreline and head inland to connect with the stream, the flora, trees and wildlife.

The walk meets at the Wheal Kitty car park. You will need to walk down a steep hill to either head left to the sea side area of the walk where you can look back towards Blue Hills from Trevellas Cove, or turn right past the now closed Blue Hills Tin Mine shop to follow the path through the valley towards Barkla Shop.

If you don't fancy the walk down the hill (or possibly back up), you can drive and park at the small car park overlooking the cove. Please note the roads are narrow and can be bumpy in parts. Both car parks are free at the time of writing and may have height restrictions. 
Please message the walk leader if you are not planning on meeting at the car park.

Please wear sensible walking boots/shoes and clothing for October weather. The footpaths are uneven so please take your time.
