Cornwall Walks
Mulfra and Nine Maidens for equinox
Early Autumn Equinox Sunset Walk
20th September | 5.15pm start
Join us for a beautiful 4-mile evening walk through the ancient landscape of West Penwith, finishing with sunset at the atmospheric Nine Maidens Stone Circle.
We’ll meet at Ding Dong Mine at 5.15pm and head across the moorland towards Bodrifty Courtyard House Village, exploring this fascinating prehistoric landscape before climbing Mulfra Hill to reach Mulfra Quoit.
From the quoit we’ll continue across the open landscape towards the Nine Maidens Stone Circle, where we’ll aim to arrive in time to settle down and enjoy the sunset at around 7.20pm.
It’s a few days early for the Autumn Equinox, but that’s no reason not to celebrate the changing season a little early! Expect ancient stones, wild moorland, a bit of a climb, big skies and hopefully a beautiful Cornish sunset.

Dartmoor Walk in the Wild Autumn 2026 16th =18th October
Our walk-in the wild events for Spring 2026 and both in 2025 were complete sell outs!! We loved spending time with you on the moor and will be heading back out onto the moor to explore all it has to offer this autumn.
We are locating ourselves at Powdermills bunkhouse.
Ready to immerse yourself in the wilderness? Join Dartmoor expert Paul Rendell and me for an exclusive experience packed with breathtaking walks, ancient sites, and stories around the fire.
Our small group will retreat to the remote and rustic accommodation for 2 nights, immersing ourselves in the magic of England’s last wilderness. Here’s what will be in store:
🌟 Day 1: Meet at 10:30 for a scenic 6-mile walk, then gather at the bunkhouse for a shared meal and storytelling by the fire.
🌟 Day 2: Embark on an 8-mile trek, followed by a cozy pub dinner (self-funded) and, weather permitting, some stargazing under Dartmoor’s vast skies.
🌟 Day 3: After clearing the bunkhouse, enjoy a 5-mile morning walk.
Spaces are limited—don’t miss your chance to connect with nature, share stories, and create memories to last a lifetime. Ready to join us? 🌿✨

Hello!!!
Hi, you have made it here, welcome to my site! I hope you find what you came looking for, if not feel free to contact me.
I’m Carolyn Kennett and I work in the field of astronomy and archaeoastronomy, with most of my practice being in the far southwest of the UK. I’m lucky because Cornwall has a great astronomical history and a wealth of ancient sites right on my doorstep, there is certainly enough to keep me busy!
At the top you will see some tabs, these will link to information about books I have had a hand in, the tours I give and lots of free resources which have been made along the way. If you are interested in what I have been up to there is a page listing articles I have written and links to videos/interviews etc.
Finally, there is a blog, and I occasionally get the time to update with thoughts, musings and other things going on in my world. Please follow if you want to be kept in the know.
Enjoy and keep looking up 🙂
