Embark on an easy hike along the Mylor Bridge and Pandora Inn Circular, a route that spans 4.2 miles (6.7 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 307 feet (94 metres). This pleasant journey, taking around 1 hour and 49 minutes, guides you through a diverse Cornish landscape. You will experience continuous waterside views along Mylor Creek and Restronguet Creek, eventually opening up to the wide Carrick Roads estuary. The trail also winds through peaceful woodlands and charming villages, offering glimpses of Falmouth across the water. A highlight is reaching the historic Pandora Inn, a 13th-century pub nestled right by the water.
The path itself is varied, combining tracks, open fields, quiet lanes, and creekside sections. Be ready for some wooded areas and understand that parts of the trail might be rocky or muddy, particularly after rainfall. While the overall difficulty is easy, some sections of the route can include a steeper incline. Consider starting your hike earlier in the day to fully enjoy the scenery and the pub stop.
This circular route is notable for its blend of natural beauty and local history, making it a distinctive option in the region. The continuous waterside vistas are a key feature, providing a tranquil backdrop for your walk. Passing through lush woodlands and charming villages adds to the trail's character, showcasing the varied Cornish environment. The Pandora Inn serves as a perfect historical anchor, offering a glimpse into the area's past and a pleasant spot to pause.
