Cornwall's Extra Dimension

This Guidebook has been described as literary by Waterstones. But, it is much more than that. It takes you off the Beaten Track, and also, introduces you to the finest beaches, beach cafes, dining pubs, and the gardens and coastline. Now into its third edition with low stocks at the publisher's warehouse. Is it not surely time to purchase one of these, once and for, all?

Cycle Trails and Traffic-Free Family Routes in Cornwall

This fab Map-Guide has it all; recommended circular routes, old miner's routes and traffic-free family trails. I thought I would illustrate a piece from the editorial introduction of this publication. The circular routes were researched by Al Churcher, one of Britain's most experienced route-men. Thanks Al.

Cycling on the, far-distant, Penwith Peninsula

This is my favourite corner of Cornwall, although with the Lizard Peninsula, its a close call. Penwith has just more drama, more of a Celtic atmosphere, and my favourite beach, Porthcurno, and my favourite harbour, Mousehole.

The routes below, illustrated in a very low resolution, will captivate you, and draw you back, again and again...
