The lockdown and restrictions on travel during the Covid-19 pandemic led to an intensification of interest in the local. Keeping socially distanced, Dom Bailey, chef-manager of CAST Café, and CAST studio holder Ben Sanderson explored roads less travelled out of Helston and slightly further afield, in the company of Dom’s dog Ghost. Their conversations flowed between local histories and their shared appreciation of spring abundance, edible and otherwise.

If you would like to follow the same routes as Dom and Ben, full instructions can be found on the page for each walk. If you are locally based you may also be interested in the activities of Helston and District Footpaths Society and Helston Health Walkers.
