Just completed the Coast to Coast Trail and what a great ride. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope the below helps anyone thinking of doing the ride.... Route: Portreath - Devoran - Portreath Recommend starting at Portreath. Difficulty: Easy/moderate trail. Mountain bike rather than hybrid. Time/distance: Approx 2hrs each way, 19km/11miles. Bike Hire: We used Coastal Trail Cycle Hire. Good quality bikes and James will deliver them to Portreath for your ride and collect again. Food: We enjoyed a great lunch at the Old Quay Inn in Devoran. Parking: As you enter Portreath there is free parking on the left hand side. Arrive early to get a spot.
5. The Mineral Tramways

Point Quay, Penpol to Portreath. The longest route in the Mineral Tramways series of mulit-use trails and in my opinion the best cycle trail in Cornwall. A 25 mile round trip through mining country with many pleasant views and interesting things to look at, bisecting the thin end of the peninsula. The trail itself is pretty bumpy and rocky in places so off road bikes only. Look out for the Poldice Valley, Fox and Hounds (highest point of route) and the Quayside at Devoran and Point Quay the start/end. An alternative start/end is from Devoran Quay which gives a round trip of 22 miles. The trail is pretty well sign posted and good maps are available to download. Parking is free at Bissoe Bike Chain if you use the nice cafe. Otherwise the trail car park at Devoran is also free. Cycle hire at Bissoe, Nancekuke (Elm Farm) and Portreath. Also of interest is the Little Beeside and Wheal Busy Loops. Places to visit are Poldice Mine, Killifreth Pumping House, Wheal Busy Mine and Unity Wood. There is a fork in Unity Wood which the right hand path should be taken if heading to Wheal Busy Mine. This is the extended Coast To Coast Trail and brings the round trip to 29 miles. Take care when walking mine ruins particularly with a camera. 95% off road. Happy cycling.

We came to this little gem three times during our family holiday. Once around 8pm one evening & watched the sun lowering, shining across the see & sand, whilst we watched the surfers in the evening light. The Atlantic cafe/bar on the car park does amazing cream teas! You pay for parking when you leave. You enter via a barrier & collect the ticket. When it's time to leave you take the ticket to the pay station, then as you're driving out you enter your ticket to get back out via another barrier. It's £2 for the 1st hour & £1 for every hour after, which we thought was very reasonable. When we visited the 2nd time, we spent the whole day there with the family. Because the see was out, we were able to explore the many rock pools & caves on the beach. One cave you could actually walk through & when you came out the other side, this part of the beach made us feel like we were on a desert island. The sand was perfect & there was hardly anybody there. The pictures don't even do it justice. We took a picnic, but you could get anything you wanted from the cafe on the beach, or The Atlantic cafe/bar on the car park. We did have to indulge in a salted caramel & rocky road ice cream from the ice cream hut though! ???????? The RNLI on patrol all day do an amazing job of watching/informing/communicating via loudspeaker/whistles to keep everybody safe. The beach was immaculate & the waves were amazing....perfect for bodyboarding/surfing/jumping with little ones. All in all an amazing day. The family had to go back in the evening to try out the cream tea & watch the sun set. ❤????

The course is immaculately kept and the bunkers had all been freshly raked. In all honestly it did take a couple of holes for me to get used to the greens but once I did I loved it! Was a great challenge to play a replica of the famous holes I have seen on tv over the years
