The route starts in Bodmin and takes you gently downhill on a gravel surface for a mile. From here, the trail is flat and straight, taking you through a tunnel of trees and past old railway platforms to Wadebridge. In Wadebridge, you'll cycle on the roads for a short distance before returning to the off-road trail.
As you cycle along the trail, you'll have the chance to see the steam train at Boscarne Junction (if you time it right) and enjoy stunning views of the Camel Valley.
Padstow, a charming fishing town located on the north coast of Cornwall, offers a unique sea life safari tour that is not to be missed. And the best way to explore Padstow and reach the sea life safari tour starting point is by cycling.
Don't forget to stop at the old quarry on the trail, where the Atlantic Coast Express is located. This is a fantastic opportunity to stop for a break and enjoy a drink or snack in a unique and historic setting. The café is located in a converted railway carriage and offers a fantastic view of the Camel Estuary.
The sea life safari tour in Padstow offers a unique opportunity to explore the Cornish coast and its marine life. You'll board a high-speed RIB (rigid inflatable boat) and be taken on a thrilling adventure along the coast. The tour is led by an experienced skipper who will provide commentary on the wildlife you'll see, including dolphins, seals, and seabirds.
If you have time on your return to Bodmin, visit the Camel Valley Vineyard for a glass of award winning wine on the terrace.
