Muddy Rating: Moderate to Very in places during wet weather
Mum has bought me a new coat to try and stop me getting so muddy, and today was my first outing in it. It didn't stop me trying to get up to my usual muddy tricks though.
Crenver Grove, located on the Praze-an-Beeble to Helston Road, was once part of the near by Clowence Estate and used for keeping birds and an area for horse riding. It's now managed by a sustainable trust and available for public and educational use.
I love running through woodland and this one is particularly fun as there's lots of logs to jump over for a bit of cross country dog agility. There are two types of woodland in Crenver Grove. At one end of the wood it's a more modern wood where the path winds through a carpet of ferns under young trees (under 150 years old). At the other end of the wood it opens up into a beautiful ancient wood of beach and oak trees.
There's a few things which make Crenver Grove and interesting place to wander around. There's a trench running through the length of the Grove that was dug in WWII by US troops as a practice trench before being deployed for the D-Day landings. There's also plenty of evidence that this is an educational wood, with dens and several charcoal burners to be found.
Bird lovers would also enjoy it here with woodpeckers, cuckoos, birds of prey and jays all found within this wood.
