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.

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

Dartmoor Tors Festival walks and Experiances Hosted May Bank Holiday

I’m running 3 events at this years super Dartmoor Tors Festival.

The first is a sunset walk to Shovel Down

Sun 3 May 2026 7:15 PM – 9:30 PM

Come join us to experience the enigmatic stone rows and menhir of Shovel Down under the dying light,  for tall tales and sky chat at this incredible time of year

Then a dawn night processional walk to Drizzlecombe megalithic complex

Mon 4 May 2026 4:15 AM – 7:30 AM

Join me for a dawn gathering at Drizzlecombe, one of Dartmoor’s quietly powerful ancient landscapes. In the hush before sunrise, we’ll walk out together across the open moor, following a processional path towards the famous stone rows and standing stones as the first light spills across the sky.

Then on the cross quarter day we will be bringing in the new season at Brisworthy

Mon 4 May 2026 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM

As the wheel of the year turns, step out onto the open moor to welcome the coming of summer. Walk through wide skies and quiet landscapes as we follow a gentle circular route to the ancient monuments of Brisworthy and Ringmoor Circle Cairn.

Dartmoor Walk in the Wild Autumn 2026 dates coming soon.

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 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 🙂
