Overview

About this route

1

This is a lovely ride from Fowey to the Fal River.  It is not a flat ride but it does avoid most of the main roads and takes in some beautiful scenery.

When you arriver in St Mawes you can plug into the Fal River Links network with regular services to Place, Falmouth, Trelissick, Tolverne & Truro. All of these services take bikes.

Please Note: You will need to carry your bike aboard down some stone steps and this can be tricky at low tide.  Please remove paniers before boarding. Bike charges vary from £1 - £2 single.
