Breathtaking views. Especially when combined with the blooming heather!

Worth climb to the cairn for the downhill section on the main access road. Then drop into single track round the back lanes of Carharrack. Sweet! :)

Great coast to coast route across mid Cornwall mainly off road trails and occasional quiet roads. Coffee stops, pub stops, great scenery, mining history and coastal views. There is nothing to dislike about this route.

Naturist beach with views.

The Carnon Viaduct passes over the Carnon River as part of the Falmouth to Truro railway line. The impressive 9 stone arches were completed in 1933. The original viaduct was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The stone piers of the former viaduct can be seen next to the existing viaduct.

Beautiful beach to sit & have an ice cream👍

Awesome gravel tracks around the mines

Portreath marks the start, or finish of the Cornwall coast to coast off road trail. There is an excellent cafe shack run by the Portreath Bakery on the seafront and lots of benches next door so you don't have to worry about getting your bike sandy to sit down with a beautiful sea view. The beach is popular with experienced surfers and families. There are public toilets and a car park closeby. Behind the harbour wall is Portreath Rock Pool, which is an excellent wild swimming spot when the sea is rough or for children. It was created by blowing a hole in the rock to create the pool and then adding a concrete dam. It is swimmable a few hours either side of low tide and is known locally as 'Rocky Pool'.

The Carnon Viaduct is still in operation, unlike many other local viaducts. It carries the Truro to Falmouth railway line over the Carnon River. Underneath the current structure are the masonry piers of the previous viaduct, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and built in 1863. It was constructed of masonry and wood. The wooden sections were dismantled but the piers remain.

This is a great place to MTB and possibly one of the best in Cornwall. Once a thriving part of Cornwall's mining industry, the spoil heaps, quarries and ruined buildings give the valley an otherworldly feel. There are plenty of Bridleways and tracks between Twelveheads in the east and Poldice in the west. You could spend plenty of time here just exploring. The ground stays rideable throughout the year, but do note there are often walkers and horse riders here too so please treat each other courteously.

could play here for while, some real steep technical descents if you are brave enough

Portreath is a small village on the Cornish coast with a beautiful sandy beach. It is popular with surfers and families alike and there are plenty of cafes. restaurants and three pubs to cater for all its visitors. Public toilets are available as well as a village shop and post office.

Fun trails with some interesting features. Hard packed ground means they are good for riding all year round.

The 7.3 km long circular route takes you back to a time when Cornwall was covered by sea and then became a Europe-wide mountain range. The sedimentary rocks of this area around Portreath were deposited in a deep marine environment during the Devonian age (ca. 393 - 373 million years): Greywacken: Gray rock with fine to coarse grains (0.3 - 2 mm; 0.01 - 0.08 inch), consisting of quartz, feldspars and fragments of foreign rocks. In some cases, shiny/shimmering components can be seen (mica), the rocks form layers and banks. Siltstones: Light gray rock with fine grains (<0.063 mm; <0.002 inch) that are not visible to the naked eye. Layers can be recognized based on the color difference. Slate: Gray to black, sometimes slightly red to greenish colored rocks with very fine grains (<0.02 mm, <0.001 inch), the rocks appear foliated with very thin layers, often alternating with greywackes. The originally horizontal sedimentary layers of Cornwall were tectonically overprinted around 323 - 299 million years ago during the Variscan orogeny (mountain formation). During this time, the southern major continent Gondwana collided with the northern major continents Laurentia and Baltica as well as smaller continent fragments (terranes) such as Avalonia and Amorica. The orogeny ended approximately 270 million years ago with the formation of the supercontinent Pangea. Due to the pressure from the south, the sedimentary rocks were compressed, folded and internally transformed under increasing temperatures. This is how slates emerged from the original claystones. There are no deposits in the area for the period between the formation of the Devonian rocks until 3 million years ago. During the Ice Age 3 million years ago, the region of modern-day Cornwall lay in a tundra area south of the glaciers that covered the Northern Hemisphere. Periglacial deposits from this period can be observed on the cliffs.

The mining trails are widespread and full of challenge and history. Not to be missed.

Well worth a visit if within an hours drive.

Views and food choices. Parking.

Ride it quite regularly. Some parts have plenty of walkers and dog walkers.. occasional,horses too.. but it’s a very good trail ride, coast to coast

Quiet bike friendly trail, rarely busy.

The views are absolutely stunning.
