Cycling Godrevy Marazion St Agnes Exmoor House

It’s not on to either cycle or walk across the beach from Godrevy/Gwithian to St Ives. Firstly, access from the site to the beach is by a choice of several steep paths or steps some of which will be very difficult to manoeuvre a bike down. Secondly, the sand is soft other than at the tide line and I don't think even that would be usable. Thirdly, the river Hayle estuary needs to be crossed. See map below.

As far as I am aware there is no traffic free cycling from any of those Cornish sites but check out online maps.

There are miles of off road cycle trails in Cornwall and Devon -for instance  the Camel  Trail and the Mineral Tramways in Cornwall, the Tarka Trail, the Granite Way, and the  Plym Valley Trail in Devon. But I’m afraid your choice of caravan sites doesn’t match them very well. There are other sites which you might find more suitable by being closer to the cycle paths.

Exmoor House is very limited due to sharing narrow roads with vehicles. St Agnes has similar problems. You might be better as suggested looking for sites with access to the Camel Trail (Bodmin area to Padstow) or the Tarka Trail N Devon, the other good one runs from Portreath across to Devoran, you could access that with care from St Agnes but the best access is from the Carnon Downs site or nearby CLs.

Thankyou. - looks like we may be best taking surf boards instead of bikes this time round! 

There are a few routes that you can do off road from St Agnes but you would need a mountain or grit bike to do them. I've ridden along the cliff tops and down to Chapel Porth, for an ice cream, and bridalways and byways from there to Porth Towan. There is also a bridalway up over the Beacon.

We used to stay at Tintagel and transport the bikes on the car to Wadebridge where we then used the Camel Trail to Padstow. Done it many times and never got fed up with that ride, scenery and wildlife. We did purchase Jelly Saddles after the first ride those railway cobbles are something else.

It doesn’t sound as though you want to change your bookings, but If there are other cyclists coming this way I can suggest campsites close to the trails I mentioned earlier, and close to the Tamar Valley cycle trails too - but for best location close to the cycle paths they will all be independent sites, not Club or CL. 

Definitely! 👍🏻🏄🏻‍♂️

You can certainly use the CL, The Barton at Weare Gifford, near Bideford to access the Tarka Trail. We did. Ashbury CP in Okehampton is a CL that you will get access to The Granite Way. Again we did.

You can also use Riverside Caravan Park AS site in Plymouth for the Drake Trail. 

Don't know about the ones in Cornwall.

Cambrose Touring Park for the Portreath end of the Portreath/Devoran trail.
