A circular walk of 3.5 miles with a few gradients, but predominantly downhill (the uphill sections being mostly quite gradual slopes).
The walk starts at St Issey church and descends into the river valley. The route then follows the river past Melingey Mill and joins the Saint's Way. The walk follows this to Little Petherick, where the church was restored twice, both by famous Gothic architects.
From here, the route follows the edge of the creek which is rich in wildlife before rounding the slate tips from the quarries that were used to build Sea Mills. The path then passes the tidal enclosure which was used to drive the mill. A hinged flap allowed water to enter the enclosure with the rising tide but as the tide fell, the water pressure shut the flap, thus creating a head of water to drive the mill.
The return route is along small lanes, passing Trevorrick Farm and the Pickwick Inn before returning to St Issey, passing the Ring O’ Bells on the way back to the church.
The walk is available as a guided walk app for Android and also the iWalk app for iPhone.
There are also a few other circular walks in the Wadebridge area on the iwalknorthcornwall website.
