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. With the longest day only 50km, there is ample time to relax and
take in your surroundings. In the evenings enjoy the hospitality of your hosts
in specially handpicked B&Bs.
