Tour Description
Take a leisurely cycle ride along the quiet section of the Camel Trail to Wenfordbridge, where you can enjoy a delicious cream tea at the Snails Pace Cafe. This scenic route takes you through some of Cornwall's most beautiful countryside, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the views.
Once you reach Wenfordbridge, head to the cafe and indulge in a traditional Cornish cream tea, complete with freshly baked scones, clotted cream, and jam.
It's the perfect way to relax and refuel after your cycle ride, so take your time and enjoy all it has to offer.
As you cycle through the South West's most historic countryside, you'll pass by many heritage sites such as Hellandbridge, a 14th-century Medieval bridge.
This section of the trail is the nicest to cycle, as it's away from the crowds and offers a peaceful escape into nature. You'll see the old railway lines still in place, where trains passed very close to dwellings, and cycle through lovely tree arches.
The route runs through both a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The Camel Trail is a great place to spot otters, bats, dormice, kingfishers, little egrets, marsh orchids and marsh marigolds.
