Walk to The Pandora

WATERSIDE WALKS FROM THE PANDORA

The Pandora has long been a favourite stop for walkers exploring Restronguet Creek, Mylor and the surrounding countryside. To make planning easier, a series of circular walks were created by outdoor writer Sue Viccars, with routes designed to start away from the inn to help reduce parking pressure at busy times. The walks bring you past The Pandora as part of the route, giving you the perfect excuse to pause for lunch, a pint or a drink on the pontoon.

The circular routes range from around 3.5 to 5.5 miles, with additional linking routes from alternative start points, so you can choose a gentle stroll or a longer day out.

Arrive by water

ARRIVING BY WATER IS PART OF THE MAGIC

The Pandora has its own mooring pontoon directly outside the inn, making it possible to arrive by boat, dinghy, paddleboard or kayak, subject to tide and conditions. It is one of the most memorable ways to experience Restronguet Creek, with the journey becoming part of the visit itself.

Loe Beach is approximately two miles from The Pandora by water, with slipways and access points available around the creek. Guests planning to travel by water should always check local conditions, tides and suitable access before setting off.
