This walk is part of the programme of events for Luxulyan Old Cornwall Society. All are welcome.
Guided Walk to Castilly Henge. This is an opportunity to visit the oldest Scheduled Monument in Luxulyan parish and one of the few Neolithic henges in Cornwall. Recently volunteers organised by Cornwall Archaeological Unit have cleared the bank and ditches. This area was enclosed quite late and appears to have had importance in the prehistoric period, with barrows and other features. We will walk to Innis Chapel which is described in its Listing as ‘a Wayside Bible Christian chapel sited several listed tombs, including the c1840's tomb of Quaker Thomasine Bryant, mother of William O'Bryan. Meet: Innis Downs at 2pm. Free parking is available along the slip road leading from the roundabout (SX 02959 62861). . The field path to Innis Chapel may be muddy but it is otherwise a flat, easy walk of 1-2 miles. Finish approximately 4.30 pm.Guided Walk to Castilly Henge.
