Groundwork | Field Trip | Straw Dogs and Neolithic Remains

About

(In)famous as the location for the once-banned psychological crime thriller ‘Straw Dogs’, and previously described as the ‘wickedest parish’ of Cornwall, St Buryan and its surrounding landscape is littered with evidence of human activity from Neolithic times. Through a collective discussion of geological, environmental, archaeological, cultural and historical perspectives, this field trip led by Robin Dowell and James Fergusson aims to achieve an enhanced understanding of this fascinating landscape.

The route is approximately seven and a half miles and the walk will take approximately five hours. The terrain is varied and participants will need to be physically able, with suitable clothing and footwear. Participants should bring a packed lunch.
