Directions from the Car Park to St Nectan’s Glen
Your journey begins opposite the bus stop, where a gravel track leads the way toward St Nectan’s Glen. As you walk, you’ll pass St Piran’s Well on your left, a site of historical reverence, set opposite the small church of St Piran dating back to 1457—a reminder of the deep-rooted heritage surrounding this sacred landscape.
A little further along the roadside, you will see the Roman inscribed pillar, an ancient marker standing as a silent witness to centuries of history. Continuing along the tarmac road, you’ll pass a few private residences before stepping into the embrace of our Temperate Rainforest. Here, nature begins to weave its magic—the lush woodland, dappled light, and soothing presence of the river guiding you toward the heart of the Glen.
Following the meandering path, take a moment to pause, breathe, and absorb the tranquillity of your surroundings. As you reach the threshold of an extraordinary experience, you’ll arrive at a crossroads where you can choose your next destination—our Gift Shop and Admissions, the Riverside Walk, or the Tree of Life Café – leading onto the Nature Trail, each offering its own unique way to begin your time at St Nectan’s Glen.
