An attractive cycle tour of Cornwall taking in the villages and attractions that speckle the coastline. Cornwall is very much a holiday county with beaches, famous cornish pasties, pirates, shipwrecks and the roaring sea. This bike tour is so much more, it is a journey through a varying landscape of inland heaths and downs, rolling hills and tumbling coastlines. There are sheltered coves and beautiful rivers, castles and gardens to visit, some flat trails away from the traffic and then some hilly minor road routes. Cyclists for this ride need to be fairly fit. The daily rides are kept relatively short; the longest day is only approx 30 miles (50km) however it can be windy. This allows plenty of time to see Cornwall the way that you want to!
Make your own way to Padstow. The town is named after St. Petroc who came here circa A.D 500. The church of St Petroc is one of a group of three said to have been founded by the Saint. It is quite large and mostly of 13th and 14th century date. The old harbour usually has a nice ensemble of boats including the old pilot vessels. Nice pub fayre and a Rick Stein café/restaurant, not forgetting Rick's Fish and Chip shop and ‘National Lobster hatchery.’
Accommodation: We use a number of guesthouses in this busy town.
Super route, nearly all good hotels/B&Bs, good bikes and support when we had a problem.
Sehr schöne Tour, es geht immer auf und runter darum empfehle ich E-Bikes. [Very nice tour, it is always up and down so I recommend e-bikes.]
Sehr schöne Tour, da es doch immer auf und ab geht sind E-Bike zu empfehlen.
I’m not sure if I would recommend this area to cycle. Most of the time you are riding on roads with hedges either side also very hilly you definitely need an E bike. It’s called the coastal route though you are more concentrated on the road as it was very busy due to the holiday season. Having said that you do ride into beautiful villages the accom was great and people very friendly. I would definitely walk the area not ride.
Overall it was great. We were very lucky with weather. Only 1 day of bad weather. The bike company was excellent and there were no issues with the e-bikes. Route was good. Need to study the map for each day as this helps with locations of accommodation for each night and bike paths that get you off some of the busy roads. Glad we had e-bikes as some of the hills can be challenging. The accommodation was great.
