The views are spectacular, and you’ll even come across a garden hedge maze and Maenporth’s stunningly reflective sunsets at Maenporth’s coastal path peak view.
Cycling across Swanpool’s smooth coastal paths, you’ll see ducks, a mini golf centre, of course, Swanpool’s breath-taking coastline, and even an old Victorian graveyard - (if history fascinates you at all!)

It is then that you will reach Penmere, get those legs working up the hill and before you know it you’ll be on a refreshing downhill ride to Falmouth town centre.
