Pronounced Lost-with-ee-ul, this is Cornwall's antiques capital. The name is believed to come from the Cornish 'lostwydhyel' or 'the place at the tail of the forest'.

On the bike, you will cross over the medieval bridge, the lowest crossing point of the river Fowey.

There are plenty of places to eat in Lostwithiel as well as quirky shops and riverside parks if you want to rest your weary legs.

Despite being a small town, there is a mainline train station here for trains to Plymouth or Penzance.
