Camel Trail Cornwall

[Francesca]

I quite like the Camel Trail. You're going to be riding along the end of the route of the rather grandly named Atlantic Coast Express that used to leave London Waterloo and finish in Padstow. On the section from Padstow to Wadebridge the scenery is open views across the Camel, and one rides over the girder truss bridge at Little Petherick creek. After Wadebridge, toward Bodmin you'll become cloistered in greenery, riding alongside a stream for part of the way. Being an old rail track it is of course quite level, so nice and easy to ride, good for families. Enjoy your time down there, the pasties, and the Sharp's Doom Bar ale!

thankyou will do

If you come a bit further down into Cornwall look out for the Devoran to Portreath trail, the Mineral Tramway, and the Great flat lode trails. Lots of off road cycling in that area, West of Truro. Lots of routes on the net. http://www.rsct.org.uk/pages/cycle_trails.htm
Its beautiful down here at the moment so I hope you enjoy your stay.
