A solitary mailbox, set in stone

The Courtyard Cafe in the centre of the town has a bike rack within their enclosed garden and welcomes cyclists. There is also bike parking in the Harbour car park by the war memorial and plenty of railings along the sea front to secure bikes whilst you explore.

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.

Great friendly and very well stocked community shop, regular hours. They even made us a cup of tea on a wet and cold day

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.
