This seventeen-mile-long cycle path, following the River Camel from Padstow to Poly's Bridge on the edge of Bodmin Moor, passes through some of Cornwall's most beautiful countryside. Totally flat, it's made for cyclists and walkers, and is great for families with prams or wheelchairs. Bird-lovers will enjoy it too (there's a purpose-built hide between Padstow and Wadebridge). If you need a break, there are several pubs and a tearoom en route too!
You can hire bikes here.

10 mins walk from door. The best location of any pub I know with fantastic views sitting above Trebarwith Strand beach. Great for a pub lunch if you are hungry from the beach! Especially the seafood.
