Cycling Godrevy Marazion St Agnes Exmoor House

Riverside isn’t an AS as far as I know, WN. Be prepared for noise and busy roads if staying there although it is very handy for the cycle track with easy access to Plymouth City and the ferry port.

I stand corrected TW. I have stayed there in the past. I must have started straying from club sites earlier than I remember.😂

I’ve stayed there too. We used to live very close to the site so used it when we had a need to go back. We used to cycle part of that track regularly.

I'm not a cyclist, but the only thing I have heard is the coast to coast cycle route between Portreath and Devoran.  There are a couple of places where cycles can be hired...  including Elm Farm Bike Barn....

We cycled out from Marazion a few times last September. Some of it is on quiet lanes, some on very very quiet country lanes, and there are some good cycle paths now. It’s about 2 miles into Marazion itself from the site going via Plain an Gwarry, short cycle on road down to sea front, and then you can cycle all the way to Mousehole, via Penzance and Newlyn without problems. Another good route is Hayle via St Erth, and then onto Godrevy if you have the lungs and the legs. I am not a confident road cyclist, but had no issues out from Marazion, as there are lots of lanes so you can avoid the busier roads. The scenic routes around Godolphin, Breage, and on into Helston are fine as well. Some of the hills are challenging mind😉

So regarding Marazion and Godrevy, I would say take the bikes. You cannot get directly across from Godrevy to St Ives as the River Hayle is in the way. We tried a bit of cycling on the beach, soft sand, virtually impossible. It’s a long way round to avoid that dangerous river. You need to get OS maps of the area, that will be your biggest help. And look at Komoot  for routes as well.
St Agnes has some quiet lanes around, depends where you want to go. Again, hilly in places. Can’t help with Exmoor House, never been. Do know Dartmoor though, and that is superb for cycling.

Don't forget the Sustrans website, where all the cycling routes are marked up, see the map, I had forgotten the new route across West Penwith. I think you have to remember that these routes are also for walkers and they can get very busy in the main season. Sustrans

As well as sites already mentioned here are a few others for cyclists who want to leave car or motorhome on site and cycle directly from there

For the Tamar Valley  trails -both  Woodovis and The Old Vicarage at Gulworthy west of Tavistock.

For The Tarka trail - Smytham Holiday Park near Torrington.

For the Camel Trail - Ruthern Valley near Bodmin, and Dennis Cove at Padstow (but that last one is only for camper vans and small caravans)

For Drakes Trail - Dartmoor Camping at Crapstone, Yelverton (but that one is a shot in the dark because I don’t know much about it) and  Hartford Bridge at Tavistock (but that one means picking your way through the town first) 

For the Granite Way - Lydford Camping (but there’s a bit of quiet road riding to get to the trail) 

And there are others for sure.

You indeed will have to use a very quiet road but it does pass a pub (name escapes me) that Mrs WN swear has one of the best ciders she has had, Cloudy Devon I believe it was called. Best to sample it on the return journey methinks.

Thankyou all so much for the info. We have tended to use CMC sites until now even for ease of change in dates or venue with medical appointments etc but with the proposed changes/deposits we may look at other options going forward so maybe surfboards on CAMC sites this year and look at other non club sites with bikes for next time.

You will certainly enjoy the surf at St Agnes and Godrevy, I don't know about Godrevy as a site but St Agnes although non facility has an outdoor shower for those who've braved the waves! If you're an NT member the car park at St Agnes Chapel Porth beach is free and the beach has life guards, you can walk but it will be hard work with a surf board. Have a good time.
