Route Description for Budock Water and the Lakes Walk

Featuring pleasant farmland, tranquil forests, beautifully scenic reservoirs, and a charming village, the Budock Water and the Lakes Walk has everything that you will need for a fun day of exploring the trails in Cornwall.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will initially make your way south along Trewan Road, before tutoring west along a quiet lane. From here, you will follow a footpath that branches off to the north in order to lead you across the picturesque Cornish farmland and through several small stretches of forest to the west of the village of Budock Water.

Eventually, you will turn west at a junction and make your way across a number of fields to reach the terminus of the route near the shores of the Argal Reservoir and College Reservoir. Heare, you can spend as much time as you wish exploring the landscape surrounding the water, before heading back along the same trail towards the east. Instead of turning off to the south, continue on to the east until you meet up with Trewan Road, following it south through the charming village of Budock Water to return to the trailhead.
