Tehidy Country Park
OS grid ref:- SW 651 443
Attractive Tehidy Country Park is located about a mile and a half from the coastal village of Portreath, and is situated in a valley of one of the upper tributaries of the Red River which flows into the sea near Gwithian.
The park consists of 250 acres of woodland and offers the visitor a range of recreational facilities, including birdwatching. The Tehidy Country Park is the largest single area of woodland in west Cornwall.
Tehidy offers lakes, ponds and cascades, and a series of weirs on the stream that empties from the highly attractive large main lake. The lake lies to the south of the park and contains a number of species of wildfowl. The squirrels are also a popular attraction, having become very accustomed to being fed by people.
The park has nine miles of footpaths to explore in all, with walking trails to suit all abilities and a sensory trail for the visually impaired.
It also offers bridle tracks and the mountain biker will find over three miles of traffic free wide tracks through the woodland for cycling use.
The tracks are well waymarked and all have good visibility for the rider.
The park was opened in 1987, it was once owned by the Basset family, who made a forune from mining tin. It formed part of the formal parkland surrounding Tehidy Mansion, until purchased by Cornwall County Council.
Accessible from either the Camborne Redruth Area or from the North Cliffs between Gwithian and Portreath. Open to the public all year round. Free admission.
To the west of the park is Magor Farm where the remains of a Roman villa were discovered.
