This also takes you to Kynance Cove where the combination of the rare serpentine rock and the powerful sea has produced amazing beaches with cliffs, caves and islands. The next section takes you across the Goonhilly Downs where the solid rock makes a good stable platform for the satellite tracking station.Day 2Day 2 - Cycle through the Penrose Estate, an area of woodland around the Loe Pool now owned by the National Trust. Continue to Porthleven, a working fishing port and then follow the coast west to Praa Sands, a mile long sweep of sand renowned as one of Cornwall's finest family beaches that’s popular with surfers. A little further on is one of Cornwall's most famous landmarks, St. Michael's Mount, a little island community that can be reached by causeway during low tide.
Approx distance: 19 or 27 milesDay 3Day 3 - Ride out to Wendron and on to the site of a reconstructed mining village. A huge beam engine dominates the site above ground while below you can explore the old tunnels and workings. The cycle ride continues through mining country with several old engine houses dotting the landscape. Continue cycling to Penryn, which was once the main port in this area before moving down the coast to Falmouth. There is still an active fishing fleet here and the docks still repair and refit some large ships although leisure is now a more important business with several exotic gardens, a maritime museum and pleasant beaches to enjoy. The impressive fortifications of Henry VIII’s Pendennis Castle still dominate the headland. Continue past more subtropical gardens to Gweek on the Helford Creek where the sheltered waters are a popular haven for leisure boats. It is also the home of the National Seal Sanctuary where they rescue injured seal pups from local beaches and also care for other abandoned sea mammals.Day 4Depart to home.
