The variety of coastal, moorland and valley trails in North Cornwall is ideal for two-wheeled touring. The most famous route is the Camel Trail, running 17 car-free miles from Bodmin through Wadebridge to Padstow along the beautiful Camel Valley.

A handy pack of Six Cycle Routes in the Bude and Holsworthy Area, makes the perfect saddle companion. Averaging 20 miles in length, the routes take you through North Cornwall and North Devon way-marked by Celtic crosses, quiet hamlets, medieval churches and country pubs.

For those who like it rough, Cardinham Woods offers miles of off-road tracks and trails, while if you're a cyclist who wants to go one cog further, the West Country Way will give you something to get your teeth into.

Developed by Sustrans, the route takes you from Bristol or Bath, through North Devon, across the cliffs at Millook, through Blisland and down the Camel Trail to Padstow.

The pack contains six cycle routes, each averaging 20 miles in length on quiet country lanes. On each card there is a route map with illustrations, and on the other side descriptive text detailing the route and its features.
