Starting from Lostwithiel Train Station, we follow the River Fowey and pass through farmland and fields to reach the picturesque riverside village of Golant.

From Golant, we continue through an area of natural beauty and dense woodland to the famous Sawmills Music Studio. Artists who have recorded there include Oasis, The Verve, and The Stone Roses. The studio is renowned for its remote, secluded location, accessible only by boat or on foot.

The hike then continues to Par Station via tracks and roads.

Grade: Moderate to strenuous.
A reasonable level of fitness is required.
