Historic railway line between Bodmin and Wadebridge

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...

No longer exists. Now the site of the Eden Project Geothermal project.

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.

Treffry's Viaduct was used as a tramway and for carrying water across the Luxulyan valley. This was built in the 19th century by Joseph Thomas Treffry, owner of the Fowey Consols Mine. This impressive engineering project stands at 90ft tall and 670ft in length. Water carried across the viaduct was used to power the nearby Carmears Wheel. The viaduct is built with local stone from nearby quarries, which were linked by tramways to the viaduct.
