Exploring on two wheels

Old Mining ruins

Siblyback Lake

There are plenty of opportunities for cycling here in Cornwall. The Caradon Trail runs past the end of our driveway, so for those who don't mind tackling some
steep sections with on and off road cycling, what could be better?

For those who prefer off-road cycle trails, Siblyback Lake is very nearby up on the  moor and has a level route running right around the lake. It is ideal for children too, with a circuit of the lake being only 2 miles. There is also a play area and lots of activities available there, including kayaking, fishing & paddle boarding.

Family fun on the trail

The famous Camel Trail makes a great day out, and bikes can be hired locally for all the family. The level trail runs along the old railway line from Bodmin to Padstow but you can decide how far to go. A shorter alternative is to to start at Wadebridge.  After your ride, the reward of fish and chips at one of the renowned restaurants in the characterful harbour town of Padstow would be hard to resist.

There are plenty of other off-road trails in easy reach of Cider Cottage; Lanhydrock Cycle Hub, Cardingham Woods, the Clay trails and the Tamar Trails, just over the  border in Devon, to name but a few.  Just view the links below and plan your trip.
