Cycling Holidays in Cornwall
Ready to hop on a bike and discover the beautiful countryside around Callestock? We’ve got bikes here waiting for you, and there’s no better way to enjoy the peaceful country lanes and scenic bridlepaths than on two wheels.
One of our favourite routes takes you along the leafy lanes and onto the Saints Trail, winding through the valley all the way to Perranporth. It’s a gentle, picturesque ride with plenty of perfect pit stops. Why not pause at The Bay Tree Café in Goonhavern Garden Centre for a morning coffee and a slice of cake?
From Perranporth, head up through Perrancombe to the charming village of Mithian. Here, you can pop into the Miners Arms for a laid-back lunch or a refreshing cider. Then, cruise back through the quiet lanes to Callestick, where you’ve truly earned a scoop (or two!) of our favourite Callestick Ice Cream.
We have detailed maps of this route—just ask Liz when you arrive, and she’ll be happy to help.
More Great Cycle Trails Nearby
Cornwall is full of fantastic cycling trails, and we’ve got a few favourites:
The Camel Trail
A flat, scenic ride from Wadebridge to Padstow, following the estuary and rich with birdlife. It’s a real treat for nature lovers.
The Bissoe Trail (Coast to Coast Trail)
This breathtaking route stretches from the peaceful creekside village of Devoran to the coastal beauty of Portreath. It’s one of Liz and Nick’s top picks—you’ll often find them there on their days off!
The Great Flat Lode Trail
This circular trail, just a short drive from Redruth and Camborne, takes you right through Cornwall’s rich mining heritage.

A slightly more rugged route, it’s ideal for those who enjoy a mix of history and off-the-beaten-track beauty.

If you’re after something a bit more thrilling, head to Cardinham Woods near Bodmin. With its network of purpose-built trails, it’s perfect for mountain biking enthusiasts. The twisting singletrack through peaceful woodland makes for an exciting day out surrounded by nature.
Lanhydrock Cycle Hub
Also close to Bodmin, the Lanhydrock Estate offers gentle woodland trails that are great for families and beginner riders. There’s a handy café on site for post-ride treats, and bikes can be hired if you haven’t brought your own. It’s a lovely way to spend a relaxed morning or afternoon in the fresh Cornish air.
The Clay Trails
Tucked away near St Austell, the Clay Trails wind through the fascinating china clay landscape of mid-Cornwall. These quieter routes are perfect if you’re looking to escape the crowds and take in something a little different. With a mix of off-road tracks and peaceful country lanes, it’s a wonderfully tranquil ride with a unique backdrop.
