The Bugle to Eden trail is quite easy walking, with one moderate slope on the road section after Bowling Green. The trail is good for families and those with perhaps less mobility.
The trail starts from Rosevear Road in the old mining town of Bugle. Car parking space is available at the trail's start. These quiet off-road paths meander through lightly wooded areas which frequently open to reveal a wider landscape and lead on to the tiny village of Bowling Green.
Pick up the path again and walk through the heathland of Treskilling Downs, on past woodland and lakes towards Eden.
The first part of this trail provides a quiet walk through pleasant countryside and as you continue you will discover wider expanses and beautiful scenery.
The little horse is one of three sculptures made and placed at different points on the clay trails. This statue, at the start of the Bugle Trail, was designed by Welsh sculptor Reece Ingram, following workshops that took place involving 11 young people from the local youth club. It depicts a Shire Horse and acts as a reminder of the extensive use of working horses within the China Clay Industry in the past, especially along the mineral tramways.
