Cycling around the Eden Project
Overview
The Cornish Way forms part of the National Cycle Network, a network of attractive places to cycle throughout the UK. Two thirds of the route is traffic free with the rest taking place on quiet roads. YHA Eden Project is a great base for mountain bikers and road cyclists alike. Running through the site of the Eden Project are a number of way marked routes such as the Clay Trails and the National Cycle Network. Just a few miles away are the mountain biking havens of Lanhydrock and Cardinham. The quiet country roads are also a great way to become acquainted with the local area.
