Sacred Hills and Strongholds – Tregonning Hill. Led by Carolyn Kennett.

6 June 2026, 10.30 – 16.00. Places can be booked from 16 May.

This four-mile walk will explore the ancient landscape of Tregonning Hill, a prominent landmark rising above Mount’s Bay and visible across much of west Cornwall. From its commanding position, Tregonning has long been a place of significance, overlooking key routes, settlements and seascapes, If time allows, we will also include Godolphin Hill.

We will explore the rich prehistoric remains of the hills, including Bronze Age burial monuments, Iron Age settlements, and the impressive Iron Age hillfort, Castle Pencaire, which dominates the surrounding landscape.

The walk will use mostly off-road pathways, which can be rough in places. It will include some hill climbing and a little bit of scrub to navigate.
