Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Penzance à Sennen

This scenic cycling route takes you from the harbor town of Penzance all the way out to Sennen, near the far tip of Cornwall. Starting from Penzance, known for its charming promenade and historic art deco Jubilee Pool, you’ll roll out on mostly quiet and paved roads hugging the coast. You’ll climb some gentle hills as you pass through rolling farmland and windswept moorland—don’t be surprised if you spot tin mine ruins along the way!

The ride is about 22 km, with a good mix of ups and downs (322m of climb, for those who like numbers), so be ready for some elevation, especially as you get closer to the coast. A good chunk of the route is cycle-friendly and not too busy, letting you really soak in those sea views.

Arriving in Sennen, you’re rewarded with stunning, wide beaches and the famous Sennen Cove—a top spot for surfers and a perfect place to refuel with a cream tea or ice cream. It’s the ideal ride for anyone wanting a taste of Cornwall’s wild west!
