About Grampound

The ancient seal of Grampound is below

Grampound with Creed lies in the centre of Cornwall, sheltered in the beautiful valley of the River Fal. Settled since prehistoric times, from within the ancient parish of Creed and the old manor of Tybesta, Grampound grew as the main crossing place on the Fal, a focus for travellers and traders moving betwen west Cornwall and England. Thus Grampound became one of the most important towns in Cornwall with a rich and vibrant history. The main A390 road now runs through the town, bringing with it the problems of traffic, but Grampound remains a beautiful location with a rich community life and spirit.

Walk 4 : An 'All Year Walk' with some additional variations for the summer months


The main walk is of about 4 miles along quiet country lanes in beautiful countryside. For the period between 31st March and 30th September, the use of permissive footpaths allows a number of variations which give a variety of
walks, the longest being about 8 miles, with the extensions mainly on footpaths.
