Historic railway line between Bodmin and Wadebridge

Only useable at low tide, unless you fancy an unplanned swim. They're tricky but manageable, and you will be the entertainment for anyone sitting in the garden of the adjacent Ship Inn. Check the tide tables

Regular crossing on the small ferry. Disappointingly for 2 bikes plus 2 people it's £6, and for 2 people in a car it's £6. My friend who used to live near here tells me that, until recently, it used to be free for bicycles.

Cornwalls industrial heritage at its finest! Fabulous peaceful valley with a lovely tranquil atmosphere. Be aware if leaving the road to explore the trails it does get extremely muddy when it's been raining!

On a clear day the views are awesome! Unfortunately being Cornwall you'll normally be getting soaked to the bone as the rain comes in sideways...

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.

Linking Helman Tor in the north down towards Lanlivery, this is a great track along the tops that forms part of the Saint's Way long distance hiking trail. The Saint's Way links Padstow and Fowey, and is thought to be the ancient route of travelling Christians linking mainland Europe with Wales and Ireland. Though it is not a designated bridleway, cycling is permitted along here.

An absolutely magical stretch of shared cycleway and footpath that follows the River Par on what was once an old tramway. You're surrounded by reminders of the Luxulyan Valley's historic past, with crumbling buildings, chimneys and Treffry's Viaduct which were all used in clay extraction here. Today, the route is blissfully peaceful, though the river does flow with quite some force alongside the path. Look out for dippers here.
