From the square take the road out of the square to the right, when facing the church (Lemon Street), towards Porthoustock, opposite the newsagents turn right into School Hill. Follow the road out of the village past the school on your right then some dwellings and the sports ground which has a children's play area. Here you leave the built up area and have fields on either side bordered by the traditional Cornish hedges. Climb up the slight hill and then down to a cross roads, turn right here and go past Roskilly`s café and their various buildings on your left. When you come to a long lane on your left to Trebarveth Farm, take the stile beside this lane and follow the path across fields until you come to a lane at the little hamlet of Trevalsoe. As you cross the last stile before Travalsoe looking back there are good views across to St. Keverne. At the hamlet there is a farm and a number of attractive cottages including the thatched one pictured. Turn right and follow the lane for about 100 yds to where it bears right, here you will find another footpath going straight ahead, follow this over a stream and between bushes to another collection of buildings. This is Boscarnon, where you take a concrete road which you follow until it comes out on the main road again at Main Dale where you meet the first of the diversions.
Main Dale is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) you will see a number large boulders of gabbro scattered across this heath land, these rocks are known as crusairs. This is a good place to see four different types of heather, my picture shows the effect in late summer or autumn. In the spring Main Dale has abundant heath spotted orchids and a yellow haze of bog asphodel in summer. You may also see lesser butterfly orchid and sundew.

Turn left when you come to the main road and keep on with a ditch on your right until you pass a cattle grid and come to a junction. Here you make a sharp right turn and continue on crossing the main Helston to St. Keverne road. Soon after that take a right turn into a narrow fairly straight road between high hedges in which you may see some interesting shaped trees. This lane can be quite a sun trap and the high hedges give shelter from the wind on a blustery day. Field gates give good views over to St. Keverne to your right or in the other direction to Tregoweris in the distance. Two footpaths lead off on the left over stiles, from the first of these a standing stone, the Tremenheere Stone, can be seen in the field beyond the stile. This is reputed to have been there for 5000 years and is about 9 feet tall. Apparently about eight species of lichens grow on it. Do not take these paths now but continue round a number of bends until you come to Trevallack, where there are a number of buildings. The old farmhouse is set back from the road on your left and has an attractive garden, it is apparently mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter of AD977, and is now a private residence. Opposite Trevallack Farm House cross a stile and follow the footpath diagonally left across a field to another stile, beyond this stile keep the hedge close to your left until you eventually come down some steps (it can get very muddy here) and meet a tarmac path to the right, this goes beside some cottages and brings you out onto the main road at Laddenvean. Turn right up a broad road which leads to the village with the Methodist chapel on your right at the top of the hill. Follow Commercial Road back to the square.
