June 11, 2026, Mounts Bay Trail

Long section, it runs well here.

In Penzance, you have to be careful to find the bike path. The route isn't well signposted here. Once you find it, it's easy to cycle and offers a beautiful view of St. Michael's Mount and the bay. As a cyclist, you also have to be careful of the many pedestrians here. The path isn't that wide.

A very lovely view can be had from here of St Michael's Mount. Accessible during mid to low tide, it is a beautiful place to visit via its granite causeway. Go and see this iconic rocky island crowned by a medieval church and castle. One of the 43 unbridged islands in the UK that is accessible by foot.

If asked where a famous island was dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, most people would probably answer the internationally renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mont Saint-Michel in France, located off the coast of the English Channel on the border between Normandy and Brittany. But even here in southwest England – beyond the European mainland, off the British Isles – a "St. Michael's Mount" can be found.

Somewhat quirky Anglican church tower with lots of crocheted kneeling cushions.

November 3, 2023, Mounts Bay Trail

This traffic-free cycleway is also part of the South West Coast Path. It makes for a great seafront run without the climbing that comes with a lot of the coastal running in Cornwall. The views across Mounts Bay towards Marazion, St Michael's Mount and to Penzance are beautiful.
