Climate Walk & Lunch - Past and Present Climate Stories From Mount's Bay

Join us on Saturday 12th September 2026 for a historical geography themed walk in Mount’s Bay, "Past and Present Climate Stories From Mount's Bay".

During the event, we will delve into the rich local stories there surrounding the submerged forest, the historical impact of tsunamis, and the development of new flood defences. This event was immensely successful last year and has been enhanced to provide an expanded experience, we would love to see you there!

The £5 Climate Walk 10:45- 2:45 booking ticket is non-refundable, with a chance to stop an hour for lunch and a chat at Longrock (Mount View Hotel, Mexcio Inn or a packed lunch - please ring ahead to check and choose as we have 1 hour for lunch).

Times shown include travelling from Truro Station. The walk is 10.45-2.45, including an hour lunch stop. We will get the train from Truro on Saturday 12th September at 9:59am arriving in Penzance at 10:38am. If you book in advance on Trainline (Trainline Train To Penzance) it will be 68% less CO2 emitted than doing the same distance by car (saving 3.07kg CO2e)!

Further along Long Rock beach, we leave the coast path, for a short pavement walk to the Mount View Hotel or Mexico Inn, where we will stop for our halfway point for a drink and rest. We would aim to be there just after midday, leaving promptly at 1.15pm. The Mount View Hotel have disabled toilets and a great range of drinks and food to buy (Doreen does a wonderful ploughmans). Dogs are welcome on a lead.

Here's what a few people said after the last Mounts Bay event:

“Incredibly fascinating talk brilliantly told.”

“Absolutely fascinating walk/talk. Informative, interesting & wow factor. Just enough of a walk to feel like we’d had a walk but short and flat enough to be inclusive to all ages and abilities.”

“Luci was entertaining, interesting & comprehensive. She brought stories that I had not known of alive for me and made me consider even more how best I can slow down climate change.”
