Idless
 

Tucked away far down the peninsula Idless offers a large area of beautiful mixed woodland in which to enjoy a range of both adventurous and more relaxed activities. It is particularly popular with local horse riders, dog walkers and orienteering groups. Archaeological features provide an interesting insight in to the way our ancestors used to live.

How to get there:

Truro and Idless are the nearest towns or villages.

From Truro follow the signs to the village of Idless. Continue through the village for a further mile. The entrance to the wood is on the right hand side.
