A detailed description of the walk!
Follow the trail to Showery Tor, then Little Rough Tor, then Rough Tor before crossing over to and up Brown Willy. Then head down the Eastern side and onto Catshole Tor and then Tolborough Tor. Then make your way down to Codda's A30 access road where you will cross under the highway and up to the famous Jamaica Inn in Bolventor. This walk is described as a one-way journey if you wanted to not do a car shuttle you could have lunch at the inn then return the way you came skipping some of the tors you have already summited for a walk of just under 20kms. Alternatively, you can return via following the road back under the A30 and all the way to Codda and then up Codda Tor and back that way.
