Cornwall Walks

Full Hare Moon at Tregeseal Stone circle

Thu 30 Apr 2026 6:45 PM – 9:15 PM

On Beltane Eve, we’ll gather in the village of Pendeen and with the turning of the season in the air, we’ll make our way to Tregeseal Stone Circle, arriving in time to watch the Full Hare Moon rise over the landscape. As dusk deepens, we’ll wander back by way of Higher Boscaswell Well, stopping at the Carn to take in the last glow of sunset. If we’re lucky, a few rabbits may join us on our journey.

Meeting Point:
St John’s Terrace Car Park, centre of Pendeen
Boscaswell Downs, Pendeen, Penzance TR19 7DP

Dartmoor Walk in the Wild April 10th -12th 2026 fully booked thank you all 🙂

Our two walk-in the wild events sold out in 2025, and we headed out onto the moor to explore all it had to offer.

So we are back for 2026 basing ourselves at Powdermills bunkhouse April 10th-12th 2026

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 group breakfast in Princetown (self-funded) and 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 🙂
