スティティアンズでののおすすめランニングルート

Small on the outside, but a very large pub on the inside, perfect for a break. As always, with Cornish cream tea.

Great view from the dam across the reservoir towards Carn Menellis

It’s not a bike track at all why they continue to direct bikes down here would be a mystery except that it’s indicative of the modern take over of our lives. Becoming reliant on and giving over trust to apps overrides , pun intended, common sense and I’m talking about me. I went down this track and despite it becoming a bog I carried on and in the end had to go through a gate saying no entry and out through a farm.

Water was up to the bottom bracket in the middle of May when doing the West Kernow Way. Just had to push the bike through it whilst trying to stay on the bank

Alongside being an ideal place to park your car for a walk around St Stithians Reservoir, there is also a great cafe here at the activity centre. You can hire watersports equipment here, from kayaks to paddleboards to sailing boats or even launch your own craft. There is also a lakeside campsite should you want to stay overnight.

On the other side of the lake from the watersports centre, it is calm and relaxing. There are beautiful views across the water to the hills of Cornish farmland. A really peaceful spot.
