Siblyback Dam

Highlight • Lake

The dam was built in 1968 to create this reservoir which provides drinking water and tops up the water levels of the River Fowey during the dry months. Once a small tributary of the River Fowey, the lake now holds 3 billion litres of water.

Jamaica Inn

Highlight • Pub

Surely Cornwall's most famous inn, this is the setting of Daphne Du Maurier's novel 'Jamaica Inn'. The pub is a Grade II-listed building and was built in the mid-18th century. It was a well known smugglers inn and is today quite a tourist destination. In the heart of Bodmin Moor, it certainly occupies an impressive position.

View of Brown Willy from Colliford Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

Brown Willy (Bronn Wennili) meaning 'Hill of Swallows', the highest hill in Cornwall! Enjoy great views of it from across the water here at Colliford Lake.

Colliford Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

Colliford is the largest lake in Cornwall and the road passing by it provides superb views.

There are plentiful picnic spots alongside the lake, but watch out for ponies roaming free who might steal a sandwich.

Watersports aren't allowed here which makes for a peaceful area, but you may spot a fly fisher seeking out an elusive brown trout.

Golitha Falls

Highlight • Natural Monument

A short distance from the road is Golitha Falls, where the river Fowey drops through Drakes Wood.

Golitha Falls is a National Nature Reserve (NNR) and a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). In the spring it is blanketed with bluebells.

King Doniert's Stone

Minions Engine and Wheal Houses

Highlight • Historical Site

This area through open moorland will provide you with views of the engine and wheal houses, part of Cornwall's industrial past. Great road to ride!

The remnants of the mines date back to the 1830s when copper was discovered under Caradon Hill.
