Cycling in Cornwall
Cycle Trails & Cycling Holidays Across Cornwall and Devon
Cornwall's mix of old railway lines, disused mineral tramways and quiet coastal paths has made it one of the best counties in England for family-friendly, traffic-free cycling. The Camel Trail remains the best known - 17 miles of flat, surfaced path running from Bodmin Moor through Wadebridge to the harbour at Padstow, drawing over 300,000 riders a year - but it's far from the only option. The Mineral Tramways network threads through Cornwall's historic mining landscape near Camborne and Redruth, while the Tamar Valley, the Clay Trails near St Austell, and the St Piran's Trail linking Truro to Padstow each offer a different flavour of the county, from wooded river valleys to open moorland and industrial heritage.
Most of these routes are suitable for families and casual riders, following old railway beds and tramroads that are gently graded and largely free of traffic. A handful - the Great Flat Lode Trail around Carn Brea, or the First and Last Trail from Land's End - have steeper or rougher sections that reward a bit more fitness and a mountain bike. Bike hire is widely available near the main trailheads, so you don't need to bring your own to enjoy a day out, and plenty of Cornish holiday cottages, campsites and B&Bs cater specifically for cycling guests if you'd like a base right on one of the routes.

The Camel Trail
Cornwall's most famous cycle path runs from Bodmin Moor through Wadebridge, along the Camel Estuary, to the quayside at Padstow. It's an easy 17-mile ride along a traffic-free former railway, suitable for the whole family, and popular enough to draw more than 300,000 riders a year. For a longer day out, take the ferry across from Padstow and ride back along the north side of the estuary to Wadebridge - an extra 5 miles through more of Cornwall's varied countryside, wildlife and flora. Bike hire is available at both Wadebridge and Padstow, including Bridge Bike Hire, which offers bikes for all ages plus trailer bikes, trikes and tandems.
Popular with families, leisure riders and experienced cyclists alike, the Camel Trail attracts more than 300,000 visitors each year thanks to its gentle gradients, stunning scenery and excellent facilities. The route offers a constantly changing landscape, beginning among wooded valleys before opening onto the wide tidal waters of the Camel Estuary. Along the way you'll pass peaceful riverside scenery, traditional Cornish villages and expansive salt marshes that provide a haven for wildlife. Keep an eye out for herons, little egrets, cormorants, oystercatchers and even seals, which are regularly spotted in the estuary. With plenty of benches, picnic spots and waterside viewpoints, there are countless opportunities to stop, relax and enjoy the spectacular surroundings.
Wadebridge makes an excellent base for exploring the Camel Trail, with cafés, shops and cycle hire centres located close to the route. Many visitors choose to cycle the popular section between Wadebridge and Padstow before spending time exploring Padstow's charming harbour, independent shops and renowned seafood restaurants. Those looking for a longer adventure can continue towards Bodmin, where the trail follows the wooded Camel Valley, passing vineyards, historic railway features and peaceful countryside far removed from Cornwall's busy coastal roads.
For an even more memorable day out, take the seasonal passenger ferry from Padstow across the estuary to Rock and return via the quiet country lanes and cycle routes on the estuary's northern shore, adding around five miles to the journey. Bike hire is available in both Wadebridge and Padstow, including family bikes, electric bikes, tandems, tricycles, children's bikes and trailers, making it easy for everyone to enjoy one of the UK's finest traffic-free cycling routes. Whether you're planning a gentle family ride or a full day's cycling, the Camel Trail is one of the highlights of any holiday in Cornwall.
Cycling Around Siblyback Lake
Siblyback Lake Country Park, near the villages of Minions and St Cleer on the edge of Bodmin Moor, offers one of Cornwall's easiest and most scenic family-friendly cycling routes. A wide, level trail follows the shoreline for almost the entire circuit of the reservoir, providing an enjoyable ride suitable for all ages and abilities. With very little climbing and a well-maintained surface, it's an ideal destination for families with young children, leisure cyclists and anyone looking for a relaxing ride surrounded by beautiful countryside.
As you make your way around the lake you'll enjoy ever-changing views across the open water towards the rugged granite tors of Bodmin Moor. The peaceful landscape is home to a wide variety of wildlife, with ducks, swans, geese and many species of water birds regularly seen along the shoreline. In spring and summer the surrounding meadows are alive with wildflowers, while autumn brings spectacular colours to the woodland sections of the trail.
The north-western side of the route passes through attractive mixed woodland, offering welcome shade on warm summer days and shelter when the weather is less kind. This quieter stretch contrasts beautifully with the more open sections, where panoramic views stretch across the reservoir and surrounding moorland. As the trail is shared with walkers, dog owners and runners, cyclists should take extra care on the narrower woodland paths and be prepared to slow down where necessary.
Siblyback Lake is much more than a cycling destination. The Country Park also offers watersports including kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing, together with trout fishing, lakeside camping and picnic areas. Visitors will find ample parking, toilets, a welcoming café serving refreshments throughout the day and a children's play area, making it easy to spend several hours or even a full day at the lake. Nature enthusiasts can also visit the bird hide at the northern end of the reservoir, where the quiet surroundings provide excellent opportunities for birdwatching throughout the year.
Cardinham Woods
Just a few minutes from Bodmin and the A38, Cardinham Woods covers more than 650 acres of beautiful mixed woodland in the sheltered Cardinham Valley. Managed by Forestry England, it is one of Cornwall's most popular destinations for outdoor activities, offering a fantastic choice of cycling trails for riders of all ages and abilities. Unlike the exposed routes across Bodmin Moor, the woodland setting provides shade during the summer months and shelter throughout the year, making it an enjoyable place to ride in almost any season.
Several waymarked cycle routes leave from the visitor centre, ranging from gentle family-friendly rides on forest tracks to more demanding singletrack trails with climbs, descents and technical sections for experienced mountain bikers. Winding through ancient woodland, across wooden bridges and alongside bubbling streams, the trails reveal some of the most peaceful scenery in central Cornwall. The forest is also rich in wildlife, with deer, foxes and a wide variety of woodland birds regularly spotted among the trees.
Cardinham Woods is equally popular with walkers and horse riders, so cyclists should be prepared to share some of the wider forest tracks. Along the routes you'll find quiet picnic areas, viewpoints overlooking the valley and plenty of places to pause and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. During spring the woodland floor is carpeted with bluebells, while autumn brings spectacular displays of golden and copper-coloured leaves.
The excellent woodland café, located close to the main car park, is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast before setting off or to relax with coffee, homemade cakes and light lunches after your ride. Ample parking, toilets, picnic facilities and bike wash areas make Cardinham Woods an ideal base for a family day out or a longer cycling adventure. Whether you're introducing children to off-road cycling or looking for a more challenging mountain bike experience, Cardinham Woods offers some of the best forest cycling in Cornwall.
The Mineral Tramways
Short-listed for World Heritage Site status, the Mineral Tramways network near Camborne and Redruth offers two of Cornwall's best cycle trails through a historic mining landscape.
The Mineral Tramways Discovery Centre is the perfect starting point for exploring Cornwall's remarkable mining heritage. Located at the historic King Edward Mine, the centre brings to life the story of the county's famous tin and copper mining industry and the network of mineral tramways that once linked the mining districts with the ports of Hayle, Portreath and Devoran. Interactive displays, historic artefacts and informative exhibits explain how these tramways played a vital role in transporting ore, coal and supplies during the Industrial Revolution. Today, the former railway routes have been transformed into a network of six scenic walking and cycling trails, allowing visitors to discover engine houses, mine sites and breathtaking landscapes within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape UNESCO World Heritage Site. Whether you're interested in industrial history, family cycling or simply enjoying Cornwall's unique countryside, the Discovery Centre provides an excellent introduction before setting out to explore the trails.
The Coast to Coast Trail
Difficulty: Easy–ModerateAn 11-mile trail connecting Portreath and Devoran through historic mining country, past engine houses that still stand today. Most of the route follows a moderate, well-surfaced path, with rougher terrain available as an alternative for more adventurous mountain bikers.
Explore the Mineral Tramways
The Great Flat Lode Trail
Difficulty: ModerateA circular trail of roughly 7.5 miles centred on Carn Brea, well suited to a mountain bike. If you're up for a detour, the climb to the top of Carn Brea rewards you with some of the best coastal views in this part of Cornwall.

The Camel Trail
Difficulty: Easy–ModerateCornwall's best-known trail, following an old railway line for 18 miles between Padstow, Wadebridge, Bodmin and Wenford Bridge on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Two main routes make up the trail:
- Wadebridge to Padstow (5.5 miles each way) Easy - the most popular section, following the tidal Camel Estuary on a flat, fully surfaced path. Allow around 45 minutes each way by bike.
- Wadebridge to Bodmin Moor (Wenford Bridge, 12 miles each way) Easy–Moderate - quieter and longer, running through wooded valley countryside via Bodmin and Boscarne Junction. The gradient stays gentle throughout (it's still an old railway line), but the extra distance makes it a longer day out.
Bike hire is available at Padstow, Wadebridge, Bodmin and Wenford Bridge - only Cornwall Council-licensed hirers are permitted on the trail, so it's worth checking before you book. Toilets are located at Wenfordbridge, alongside the trail at Wadebridge, and in Padstow town centre; cafés and shops cluster around all three main access points. The entire trail is surfaced and virtually level, making it fully suitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and pushchairs throughout - Bridge Bike Hire in Wadebridge even offers a wheelchair tandem.
The Mineral Tramways
Difficulty: Easy–ModerateA network of six linked trails through Cornwall's historic mining landscape near Camborne and Redruth, part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape UNESCO World Heritage Site:
- Coast to Coast Trail (11 miles, Portreath to Devoran) Easy - the longest and generally the easiest, mostly off-road and level.
- Great Flat Lode Trail (7.5 miles, circular around Carn Brea) Moderate - some genuine climbs, best tackled on a mountain bike.
- Redruth & Chacewater Railway Trail (7.7 miles) Easy–Moderate - links the Great Flat Lode and Coast to Coast trails via the Poldice Valley.
- Portreath Branchline Trail (5.5 miles) Easy–Moderate - includes some road sections and a main road crossing, so less suitable for horses or nervous riders.
- Tehidy Trail (2.5 miles, through Tehidy Country Park) Easy - short, level and family-friendly.
- Tresavean Trail (1.1 miles) Easy - the shortest route, generally level and off-road, useful as a link between the longer trails.
Saint Piran Café (formerly Bike Chain Bissoe), at the southern end near Devoran, has a café and bike hire and makes a good starting point for the Coast to Coast Trail. Facilities are otherwise thin on the ground away from the main villages - there's nothing at Devoran itself for food, drink or toilets, so it's worth picnicking along the way or planning around Portreath, Scorrier or Twelveheads, all of which have pubs or cafés. Parking is free at the main trailheads. Most of the network is flat and well surfaced enough for pushchairs and wheelchairs, though the Great Flat Lode's steeper sections and some rougher stretches on the Portreath Branchline are not accessible.
Siblyback Lake Country Park
Difficulty: EasyNear Minions and St Cleer on Bodmin Moor (PL14 6ER), with a level lakeside cycle track and moorland views - an easy route also popular with walkers. On-site watersports, fishing, camping, parking and a cafe, plus a bird hide at the nature reserve on the lake's north end.
The 5km round-lake circuit has very little climbing and a well-maintained, level surface throughout, so it's a reliable choice for a relaxed family ride whatever your fitness level.
Car parking is charged (around £2.50 for two hours, £5 for the day - note that fees are charged from entry to exit rather than by the hour). Olive & Co, the on-site café, serves food, drinks and homemade cakes, and there are public toilets including a disabled toilet near the main car park. The 5km round-lake path has a hard, level surface throughout and is well suited to pushchairs, wheelchairs and bikes.
The Tamar Valley
Difficulty: Moderate–ChallengingThe Lopwell Dam Cycle Link (4.5 miles) joins the Bere Peninsula, Lopwell Dam and the Plym Valley, with fine views over the Tamar and Tavy estuaries between February and September. The Bere Peninsula Cycle Route is a tougher 9-mile ride past cottages from the mining era, joining the Lopwell Dam route at Bere Ferrers.
Both routes have several steep hills and a tidal river crossing at Lopwell Dam that must be timed against the tide tables, so this is better suited to fitter, more experienced cyclists than to a casual family ride.
There's a gravel car park at Lopwell Dam itself, plus small free car parks at Bere Alston and Bere Ferrers (the latter also has a railway station on the Tamar Valley Line). The Pump House café by the dam serves light refreshments but keeps limited, seasonal hours, and there are no public toilets at Lopwell - the nearest facilities are in Bere Alston and Bere Ferrers villages. This is a hilly route with a tidal river crossing at the dam, so it isn't suitable for wheelchairs or buggies, though the short stroll from the car park down to the water's edge at Lopwell is level and accessible.
Tamar Lakes Country Park
Difficulty: EasyTwo lakes just off the A39 north of Bude (EX23 9SB), offering watersports, angling, walking and cycling alongside a quiet campsite, lakeside cafe and visitor centre. The Lower Lake is managed as a nature reserve.
The circular route around the upper lake is flat and takes about an hour, making it one of the easiest rides on this list and a good choice for young children or first-time family cyclists.
Pay-and-display parking is charged at £2 for one hour up to £6 for the whole day, with accessible bays near the entrance. Tamar Lake Café overlooks the water with freshly brewed coffee, cakes and light lunches, and there are public toilets, including an accessible toilet and baby-changing facilities. The 3-mile circular route around the upper lake is fully surfaced and suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs, making this one of the more accessible sites on this list.
The Pentewan Leisure Trails
Difficulty: EasyA family-friendly 2.5-mile trail on Woodland Trust land, with wetlands and bridges to cross along the way. Please give way to horse riders and walkers also using the trail.
The lower riverside and woodland paths are level and easy going, well suited to young families, though the higher, natural-surfaced tracks deeper in the woods climb more steeply and are better suited to more confident riders.
Parking is free at the entrance near London Apprentice, with a flat, level surface making it easy to unload a wheelchair, plus a second parking area a little further along the tarmacked approach road. There are no toilets or cafés within the woodland itself, though a privately run café sits just off the road at the entrance, and Pentewan village - reached via the riverside path - has public toilets in the square (weekends only) along with pubs and cafés. The two lower woodland paths are wide, surfaced and wheelchair accessible; the higher, steeper tracks are natural-surfaced and better suited to more confident walkers and cyclists.
Cardinham Woods
Difficulty: Easy–ChallengingCycle trails and woodland walks near Bodmin, just off the A38, across 650 acres of forest in the Cardinham Valley. Cafe, toilets, picnic areas and parking on site.
The Lady Vale Walk is gentle and family-friendly, while the waymarked Bodmin Beast mountain bike trail, with its optional red-graded sections, offers a genuinely technical, hilly ride for experienced off-road cyclists.
Parking is charged (around £2 for up to two hours, £5 for the day), with four accessible bays close to the payment machines and free parking for Forestry England members. Woods Café, right by the car park, has both indoor and outdoor seating, and there's an accessible toilet with baby changing behind the Ranger's Hut, no RADAR key needed. The Lady Vale Walk is the site's easy-access route, suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs and mobility scooters, and an all-terrain Tramper scooter can be hired on site through the Countryside Mobility scheme - well worth booking ahead in peak season.
Tehidy Country Park
Difficulty: EasyOver 200 acres near Camborne with 9 miles of trails through lakes and woodland - also part of the Mineral Tramways network, so easy to combine with the Portreath Branchline or Coast to Coast trails.
The lakeside path and pink trail are flat and well surfaced, though the wider network of woodland paths includes a few short, steeper sections if you want to extend the ride.
Parking is free at all five entrances, with the main car parks at South Drive and North Cliff. A café and toilets sit close to the South Drive entrance, though opening hours can be limited outside the summer season, so it's worth bringing a picnic as a backup. The lakeside path and the waymarked "pink trail" are level and hard-surfaced, suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs, though some of the wider woodland network has looser or hillier ground.
The St Piran's Trail
Difficulty: ModerateFrom Truro, this trail passes through villages and country roads to Newquay, then on to Padstow. From the Camel Estuary it joins the Camel Trail's easy terrain onward to Bodmin.
This is a long-distance, mostly on-road route with some genuine climbs and traffic to contend with, so it suits confident, fitter cyclists rather than beginners - though it can easily be broken into shorter, easier sections.
As a mostly on-road, town-to-town route, there's no single trailhead with facilities - instead, riders can make use of car parks, cafés and public toilets in Truro, Newquay and Padstow along the way, all well served for cyclists. The route is a mix of quiet lanes and some busier stretches, so it's better suited to confident cyclists than to wheelchairs or pushchairs, though the final section joining the Camel Trail towards Bodmin is flat, traffic-free and fully accessible.
The Clay Trails
Difficulty: Easy–ModerateThree linked routes - the Bugle Trail, the Wheal Martyn Trail and the Par Beach Trail - connecting St Austell and Par, ideally placed for the Eden Project and the Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum.
The Green Corridor and Bugle to Eden sections are gently graded and easy going, while the Wheal Martyn Trail out towards the working clay pits is longer, hillier and rougher underfoot.
Wheal Martyn China Clay Country Park, the main trailhead, has its own car park with accessible spaces near the entrance, a café and fully accessible toilets in the Discovery Centre. The Green Corridor section linking St Austell to Wheal Martyn is an easy, gently sloping path, but the trail beyond towards the working clay pits is steeper and can be difficult for wheelchairs, so it's worth checking conditions with the museum if accessibility is a priority. The Bugle to Eden Trail is the shortest and easiest section, at around 4 miles.
The First and Last Trail
Difficulty: Easy–ModerateStarting at Land's End, this route combines coastline and countryside through Sennen, Lamorna and Mousehole, passing close to Newlyn Art Gallery and St Michael's Mount at Marazion, before turning to the rougher terrain of the north coast. Described as "a jewel in the crown of the Cornish Way."
The Penzance–Marazion section is flat, off-road and suitable for beginners, but much of the rest of the trail is hilly and shared with vehicles, including a steep on-road climb into Sennen.
This trail uses existing paid car parks at Land's End and along the route rather than a single dedicated trailhead. Pubs, cafés and toilets are available at Land's End, Sennen Cove and Mousehole, with further facilities in Penzance, Newlyn and Marazion. The section between Penzance and Marazion, following the South West Coast Path with views to St Michael's Mount, is level, off-road and suitable for wheelchairs and less experienced cyclists; other sections are hillier and shared with road traffic.
Plymbridge Woods Trails
Difficulty: ModerateOn the edge of Plymouth, this National Trust-managed trail through the Plym Valley climbs from the sea up through native woodland to the fringes of Dartmoor - a challenging, winding off-road route.
The main Drake's Trail line is a gentle, steady climb suitable for most riders, but the wider off-road network, including the Plym Ridge Ride, is hillier and rougher, and better suited to mountain bikes.
Parking at the main National Trust car park is free (used at your own risk, and can fill up on busy weekends), with a handful of Blue Badge bays. There are no toilets on site and food options are limited to an occasional seasonal ice cream van, so it's worth bringing a picnic and using facilities in nearby Plympton beforehand. The main route along the old Great Western Railway line (part of Drake's Trail, NCR27) is tarmac and suitable for wheelchairs and buggies, though other woodland paths have looser, uneven surfaces.
Haldon Forest Park
Difficulty: Easy–ChallengingJust off the A30, 10 minutes from Exeter, with cycle hire, a cafe and routes for every ability - including the Park's longest and most demanding ridge trail, for confident riders only.
Family-friendly green routes leave directly from the visitor hub, while the red-graded ridge trail involves significant climbing and technical singletrack, and is recommended for fit, experienced mountain bikers only.
Parking is charged (from £5 for up to two hours to £9 for the day), with accessible bays right by the visitor hub. The Ridge Café serves cakes, lunches and ice creams with both indoor and outdoor seating, and there's a fully accessible toilet with ramped access alongside standard facilities. An all-terrain mobility scooter can be hired on site for visitors aged 14 and over, and Forest Cycle Hire offers adapted bikes for those who need them.
Roadford Lake Country Park
Difficulty: EasyBetween Okehampton and Launceston (PL16 0RL), on the fringe of Dartmoor, with over 700 acres of water for watersports plus walking and cycling routes for all abilities. Cafe, visitor centre and parking on site.
The main lakeside loop has just one gentle climb and no stiles or gates to negotiate, making it a comfortable ride for families, though the surface becomes looser gravel further from the visitor centre.
Pay-and-display parking is available close to the visitor centre, with accessible spaces near the entrance. The Lakeside Café and shop offer light lunches, cakes and hot drinks, and there are male, female, disabled-access and baby-changing toilets on site. The main circular route around the lake follows tarmac and stone tracks with only one gentle climb and no stiles, so it's manageable for pushchairs - though some visitors have found the surface becomes looser gravel further round, so wheelchair users may want to stick closer to the visitor centre.
Bicycle shops & repairs near the routes
If you're cycling with your own bike rather than a hire bike, it's worth knowing where the nearest workshop is before you set off - a snapped chain or a slow puncture is far more of a nuisance halfway along a remote trail than in town. The list below groups genuine, independent bike shops and mobile mechanics by the area they cover, alongside the main hire centres already mentioned on this page. Opening hours and contact details can change, so it's worth checking directly before you travel, especially outside the summer season.

Cycling holiday accommodation
Many Cornish holiday cottages, campsites, B&Bs and caravan parks cater specifically for cyclists, with some offering bike hire or secure storage to residents. Always check the exact facilities with the owner before booking - not every property advertised as "cycling friendly" offers the same level of support.
