Joined: 12 Mar 2009 Posts: 25 Bike: My Profile | I'm off to Cornwall in July so i'm looking for a few decent routes to have a play on. I know i'm not going to get any big mountain riding in like here in Wales but a bit of off road/footpath/bridleway action would be great. Does anyone know of any routes? Thanks. |

Joined: 09 Jan 2010 Posts: 90 Bike: My Profile | I am going there this summer, well a bit further up the coast to be precise, Tintagel is where I am staying but I will be doing this Camel trail Bodmin to Padstow. Can anyone tell me if it is better suited to a Trek FX 7.5 hybrid or a Trek 4300 Hardtail. I only want to take the one bike away with me so any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Paul. Also any other routes around Tintagel would be a help. |

Joined: 23 May 2011 Posts: 3 Bike: | We cycled this route (the great flat lode trail) last year It was anything but flat, a great challenge for the kids, great scenery and possibly goes someway towards what you are looking for. Best of luck The Great Flat Lode Trail is a 7.5 mile (12km) circular trail in the heart of the historic Camborne-Redruth mining district. The trail is multi-use for walking, cycling and horse riding. Centred on the impressive hill of Carn Brea this trail is named after the ore vein which was the centre of the tin mining activity here. Information boards at the mining sites close to the trail provide further information on the history and working of the mines which were famous for their tin and copper production. For those wishing to make a small detour from the trail, the top of Carn Brea offers fine views of Cornwall's Atlantic coast and it is possible to explore the slopes where the remains of Neolithic and Iron Age occupation have been found. The Carn Brea Castle restaurant and the Basset monument are other points of interest. Most of the trail is off-road. The trail can be used by walkers, cyclists and by horse riders. If cycling, it is advisable to use a mountain bike. For a leaflet showing the Great Flat Lode Trail Do you have information of a historic or community interest about Great Flat Lode Trail which you would like featured on this page please email us with your information. |
