The Lichway

Also known as the 'Way of the Dead' as a route for carrying coffins to the graveyard at Lydford Church

A 19.7 km full-day trail that rewards walkers with a proper day out. Budget roughly 4 hours and 22 minutes at a steady pace.

This route forms a near-complete loop: the start and finish are very close together, so only minimal transport is needed to get back. It combines the convenience of a circular walk with a slightly varied return. The trail is officially waymarked as LYW, so look out for the trail markers along the way.

This is a Local Walking Network (LWN) trail — a community-level route perfect for exploring the immediate surroundings, popular with locals and visitors alike.
