The actual signed Tehidy Trail through the heart of the country park, followed exactly rather than improvised: from the Coombe entrance on West Drive, up through the oak and beech woodland past the Kennels and Rose Garden to East Lodge. It stays entirely on shared-use bridleways and carriage drives — no roads. Run it one way between the two car parks, or turn round at East Lodge for an ~8.4km out-and-back back to Coombe. Either way you can link into the park's wider path network to add distance.

Getting there and back

Buses along the Camborne to Portreath road pass the park entrances. Check current stops.

Parking

Free car parks at Coombe (West Drive) at the start and East Lodge at the finish, with South Drive — the main café-and-toilets hub — in between. All free.

Conditions

Shared-use bridleways and woodland carriage drives throughout — no road running. Firm in summer, muddy on the lower stretches after a wet spell.

Navigation

Follow the waymarked Tehidy Trail signs between Coombe and East Lodge; the park's paths braid, but the trail itself is signed the whole way.

Season

The woods work every month: bluebells in May, storm shelter in January, shade in the summer heat when the coast path is baking.

Dogs

Practically a dog resort; keep leads handy near the lakes, where the swans have never lost an argument.

Good for

Camborne and Redruth's easiest quality miles
