The Sustrans' National
Cycle Network runs down through Cornwall where it's known as
the Cornish Way.
On the Cornish Riviera, the route comes down from Bodmin and Lanhydrock,
past the Eden Project and on to St Austell.
As a side route, the Clay Trails is a slightly rougher
off-road route to St Austell, over the China Clay workings, by way of
the China Clay Country Park at Wheal Martyn and down the valley to St
Austell.
From St Austell, the route is off-road down
the Pentewan
Valley to the coast at Pentewan village and beach. On the way
down, the off-road route crosses the Pentewan river and up the old
'coach road' to the Lost Gardens of Heligan and then on down to
Mevagissey - a working fishing village.
At
Mevagissey, the Cornish Way uses the quieter country roads to make its
way the River Fal, crossing over on the King Harry Ferry, and then into
Truro, the cathedral city of Cornwall.
The Goss Moor
Multi-use Trail is a 7 mile (c. 12 km) circular trail which
winds its way around the little known expanse of Goss Moor, north of St
Austell. It is mostly flat and relatively easy with much of it off road,
allowing disabled and novice walkers and cyclists easy and safe access
to the moors.
The trail is surfaced to be
suitable for walking, cycling, horse-riding and for wheelchair or
mobility scooter users and buggies. But note that if you are using a
wheelchair / mobility scooter you may need to have someone with you in
some areas, as there are gates to open on parts of the
trail.
