Plymouth to Land's End
Cycling Holiday in the UK
7 nights, 6 days cycle tour
self-guided cycle with luggage transfer
Starting on historic Plymouth Hoe on the UK's south coast of Devon, you cycle along the Plym Valley onto Dartmoor, visiting the old stannary town of Tavistock, along the traffic-free Granite Way on Dartmoor to Okehampton, Devon's gateway to Dartmoor.
From Okehampton you cycle through Devon's undulating countryside via the famous market towns of Hatherleigh and Holsworthy, finishing at Bude on the UK's north coast of Cornwall. Time for a sunset swim on Bude's golden sandy beach!
From Bude you cycle along the north coast of Cornwall with heart-stopping views of the ocean. Then you cycle inland across Bodmin Moor, descending into the beautiful Camel Valley and along the traffic-free Camel Trail into Bodmin. Bodmin is a fine old Cornish town with pubs, shops and a steam railway.
Day 4: Bodmin
to Mevagissey 21 miles
A short challenging cycle from Bodmin along quiet country lanes to the
Eden Project. The entry fee is reduced as you have arrived by bike! Spend
several hours exploring the humid and temperate biomes at this world class
garden. A short cycle takes you through St Austell, past the Lost Gardens
of Heligan to Mevagissey, a 13th century fishing village with a very picturesque
harbour.
Today you cycle through the picturesque Portloe. Then you cross Carrick Roads via the King Harry Ferry, past Trelissick Gardens, to the cathedral city of Truro. This area is full of some of Cornwall's finest gardens. The distinctive engine houses of the old Cornish tin mines dominate the scenery as you cycle through the historic mining heartland of Cornwall. The cycle path follows along an old mining tramway. Visit the pubs, cafes and industrial museums of Redruth and Camborne. As you approach Penzance St Michael's Mount in Mounts Bay dominates the view. If the tide is out you can walk across the causeway, or take the ferry, to explore this fairytale island.
Penzance offers the opportunity of a trip to the Scilly Isles. The last stretch to Land's End takes you through the famous Cornish villages of Mousehole, Lamorna and Sennen Cove. This cycling holiday finishes at Land's End, the UK's most westerly point. You return to Penzance for your last overnight stop.
