The coastal resort of Penzance has a faded-glamour that’s synonymous with the British seaside at its best. Renowned for great weather and plenty of nostalgia, the town has plenty to see, do and explore.

September 15, 2024,St. Ives-Land's End-Mousehole (Cornwall)

The tour first took us to St. Ives. It was already pretty busy in the morning and we had to get away. At least cycling near the water was no fun.
The country road to Land's End is often a narrow road above the coast with a great view of the water. Very nice to ride even though it's constantly …

"Lands End marks the end of the southern coast part of the tour. Tomorrow the west coast begins" Coastrider

Today was full of highlights with the view over to St Michael's Mount being the iconic Cornish snap shot.

A grey wet start faded away and the strong southern wind was mostly helpful. An early steep walk ended in lovely quiet …

October 27, 2022,Moors, mines & coastal mist

Inspired by "The Promised Land" route by Jack Thurston. The fierce tailwind on the North coast helped, and the mine landscape was well worth the detour.

Missed the amazing views, i.e the Eagles Nest was in thick mist, but there remained a strong sensation of being immersed in the landscape.

April 28, 2025,Hayle, Sennen, Mousehole and back to Hayle

North Coast to South Coast. Spectacular views over the North Coast but this part does have some good Cornish hills! the views make up for it. This route was not to busy with traffic yet but, come the end of May from St Ives to Sennen it's a favourite route for holiday makers. We had some quite lanes and then …

July 20, 2023,1- Land'sEnd to John o'Groats, End to End, Penzance con variante

We were to reach Land' End and from there initiate the long traverse of Cornwall, England and Wales as far north as John o' Groats. Then looking at the paper map it was evident that the route on the north / west coast was highlighted as panoramic. It was impossible not to go and see: small villages with dark brick …
