Cycling Holidays In Penzance

The new Cornish Way Cycle Path is just 400 metres from the Wheal Rodney Holiday Park site entrance. This makes Wheal Rodney an ideal place to work into your Cornish cycling holiday. We get many cyclists staying with us as we are so conveniently located.

If you would like to cycle around the beautiful countryside in this part of the world but can't bring your bike with you then fear not! There is an excellent cycle hire shop just a few miles away in Penzance.

 

The Cornish Way Cycle Trail:

Enjoy just a few hours on a trail, or explore all 180 miles of The Cornish Way, including the Camel Trail. Plan your day or be spontaneous. Whatever you choose to do there is so much to be enjoyed...distinctive landscapes, historic towns and villages, sandy beaches, local festivals, art galleries and museums and a host of other visitor attractions.

Opened in June 2000 as part of the Sustrans - National Cycle Network, The Cornish Way is an exciting project developed by the Countryside Service, in partnership with Sustrans. Starting at the county boundary near Bude, its six inter-linking trails for cyclists and walkers pass through towns and villages as they make their way through Cornwall's distinctive countryside to Land's End. Certain off-road routes are also accessible to equestrians and the mobility-impaired.

With mainly minor and rural road and traffic-free, off-road routes there are opportunities for new or novice cyclists as well as some challenging routes for the more experienced. Even if you don't have your own bike, you can hire one for the day.
