Lovely seaside village to stop off at for refreshments during your ride. Great coffee and cakes available from Little Bay Cafe or if you fancy a beer there's the Ship Inn with its beer garden. Personally I love a Flat White on the bench looking out over the beach listening to the sea 💝

The path is still closed in Komoot, but there is a new one on the coast each time.

Pentewan harbour is entirely cut off from the sea after the clay export industry here dried up in favour of nearby Charlestown and Par. It was also used for pilchard fishing which is now similarly inactive. There is a post office and shops plus a large caravan park where holiday makers can make the most of the wide sand on Pentewan beach.

Roche Rock is a granite outcrop looming 20m high. On top of the rock is the ruin of a chapel built in 1409. There are plenty of legends surrounding the chapel. It is thought to have been lived in by a hermit and his daughter, hence another popular name for it being Roche Rock Hermitage. In medieval times it is said to have been occupied by a landowning family who had leprosy and wanted to protect loved ones from catching it. The demon of Jan Tregeagle, an evil Cornish magistrate who was said to have made a pact with the devil in return for power, fame and success, tried to hide at Roche Rock after being set a series of impossible tasks to keep him out of hell until Judgement Day. When the wind is blowing you might even hear wailing coming from the chapel walls.

The Cornish Alps is a name given locally to this area which certainly has an alpine feel, even if not the high altitudes and ski stations. The Cornish Alps are a side effect of the china clay industry which creates massive spoil heaps, known as sky tips. Some, like Carluddon, just north of St Austell, are a distinct pyramid shape, while others blend more into the environment. An area of Cornwall very little visited but certainly worth cycling through.

Charlestown is an unspoilt Georgian harbour used frequently as a filming location as it is so unchanged by time. It features in Poldark, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Eagle has Landed, Alice in Wonderland and the Three Musketeers to name a few. The harbour was built between 1791 and 1801 to export copper and import coal but also ended up exporting china clay. Charlestown was named after Charles Rashleigh, a local entrepreneur who invested greatly in the area. It was previously known as West Polmear. There is a cafe and two pubs in Charlestown plus a Shipwreck Treasure Museum.

A couple of pubs to stop at or choose to stay at Pentewan Sands, a great place for base camp 🏕 and enjoy the local trails and bike paths.

not very technical and a lot of walkers

Great landmark visible from miles around. Dominates the the skyline of north St Austell. Made from waste sand, from the near by Baal pit a now disused china clay pit, which was a filming location for doctor who in the 1970/80's. Easily accessible from the clay trails which link the clay villages with St Austell Bay. Also makes a great viewing point of St Austell bay and surrounding areas

On top of Roche Rock is a ruined chapel.
