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.

Quite B roads mostly, with good country and sea views.

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

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.
