Feock Trails - Walking History:
The Parish Council have completed a project titled Feock Trails - Walking History which has been funded by the Heritage Lottery fund.
The project produced walking trail leaflets which will are available free of charge from our office in Devoran and also available online to download from the respective walks pages.
There are 9 walks in total, covering the whole of the parish, with starting points in Carnon Downs, Devoran, Point & Penpol and Feock. The leaflets will give information about the history of the parish, including history from the Bronze Age, mining and shipbuilding, the historic houses and the creeks and regattas.
Small QR code signs have been installed at various landmarks around the parish which when the QR code is scanned with a mobile device will then display additional information about that landmark on your mobile device.
As part of this project the Parish Council have also created a reference library for information about the parish in our office and if anyone has any books or publications they would be either willing to donate or lend to the reference library that would be very much appreciated. No books will be able to be taken away, they will only be able to be read in our office.
We also hope to install seating to take advantage of the lovely views that can be found on some of the walks, together with additional maintenance work to make some of the footpaths more accessible.
Landmark information can be accessed here as well as via the QR codes around the parish.
Cllr Phil Allen who wrote the walks is more than happy to come along to give a talk to any community groups who are interested and to give out copies of the walk leaflets, please get in contact with the Parish Council if you would like to arrange this.
