N Cornwall District Council Walk to Work Project



Over 100 walkers and up to 34 cyclists use St Guron’s Way everyday. For some children the trail has cut journey times to schools by 25–30 minutes, a number of businesses are taking advantage of the congestion free route and it has helped to kick-start a new ‘walking for health’ group in Bodmin which has over 50 members.
