Cycling the Old Cornish Mining Trails ~ Industrial Heritage | Historic Towns | Oceanic Views | Stunning Scenery

Ideal for walking and cycling, these Trails are also great for horse riding. As you soak in the Cornish industrial heritage and beautiful open countryside of the mid-Cornwall mining district we invite you to wander off the main Trails into our historic towns and villages to experience some of the more secret of our county’s treasures and refresh yourself with some real local food and drink from Cornish pasties to artisan bread and cheeses with fine ales from micro breweries or refreshing local cordials on ice.

 

The Mining Village Trails are specifically designed to enhance your experience of our wonderful county and we hope they will be both entertaining and rewarding.

Cornwall is one of the most beautiful places, with great people
– there’s not a great downside to it.

CHURCHYARDS TRAIL

Devised for those interested in genealogy. Due to the distance the churchyards are apart we have put this trail as being driven by car.

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking”
