It’s hardly surprising that cycling is one of the most popular ways of getting around Cornwall. With its stunning landscape, great cycle paths and amazing pit stops, it’s the perfect way to explore this beautiful county. The Cornish Way cycle route is a fantastic initiative that has linked up over 200 miles of tracks, paths and routes that connect Bude in the East with Land’s End in the West. From challenging peaks to family-friendly trails, here are five of the best cycle routes in Cornwall.
The Camel Trail
The Camel Trail is an 18-mile long cycle path that goes between Wenfordbridge, Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow. It’s almost entirely traffic-free and relatively flat, making it ideal for little legs or those after a more relaxing time. It follows an old disused railway line along the Camel Estuary and goes through some stunning wooded areas, providing beautiful views of the Cornish countryside. There are plenty of villages to stop off in with cafes, pubs, shops and supermarkets, as well as spots along the way for a picnic.
