CYCLING

PENHAVEN TOURING PARK is the ideal base for a family cycling holiday. The campsite is situated alongside several sections of cycle trail which will eventually join up to form part of the Cornish Way. At the moment, you can cycle from the gate:

· Inland along the river to St Austell

· Along the river to the coast and Pentewan

· Onward from Pentewan to Mevagissey

· Along the old 'coach drive' to Heligan Gardens.

All these short routes form part of the longer 'Coast and Clay Trail' which will take you from Truro to Bodmin via some of the best coastal scenery, and sites telling the history of the local china clay industry.

Cycle Hire

Many families bring their own bikes to PENHAVEN, however if cycling takes your fancy once you're here, cycle hire can be arranged via the campsite shop. PENHAVEN has an arrangement with local cycle specialists 'Cycle Nucleus', and bikes, equipment and accessories can be hired by the day or half day, and delivered to the site ready for your planned trip. Cycle Nucleus can also deal with any servicing, or repairs that you may need during your stay, and their shop in St Austell stocks a full range of the top names in cycles and cycling gear, so why not pay them a visit (in person or on their website). There are also several other cycle hire services and bike shops in the local area, and Ian and Angela will be happy to advise you if you need to know anything else.
