[Closed] MTB in Cornwall

Hustyn woods is good fun and fine for MTBing but also check out Dunmere nearby - more fun than Cardinham although access is a little bit shaky.

Also check further West in Poldice Valley/Bissoe for some cracking MTBing around disused mines.

Not sure about Kings woods!

Kings Woods have some very flat wide trails but nothing exciting really. More family trails really. Theres a cycle trail from Heligan Gardens down into Mevagissy.

Anything around Newquay/Watergate bay? Have found some cheeky stuff via google earth, but is there anything else?

Thanks for the posts so far.

Poldice maybe a little too far but will get the map out and see.

Re Huysten woods. Are the trails easy to find. Always enjoy a little exploration but any pointers would be appreciated.

Re kings woods - I only mentioned this as it was included in a recent outing for one of the Cornish mtb clubs - the nae eludes me now - but I recall reference to singletrack.

Haven't heard anything aboutvstuff near newquay - but would be interested to hear how google earth was used.

Thanks

For Hustyn Woods - ride the Camel trail towards Bodmin from Wadebridge. When you get to a large road bridge on your right with steps, go up them, cross the bridge and turn right - this puts you at the edge of the woods.

Newquay area is limited TBH.

😆

No probs...

Just realised that Bissoe is a lot closer than I thought it was. Are there any pointers for this area.

Thanks

Gav - its not me from kiteboarder.co.uk - mbr killer loop for chacewater would be appreciated - ta

Go to Bissoe and look for the Cafe/Bike shop in the car park (can't miss it). Ride towards Portreath (signposted) and after about 3 miles (bit of track, bit of road, then more track) hang a left for acres and acres of disused open cast mines which are superb for cycling. If you just fancy a fast ride, carry on to Portreath - a pleasant village with a nice beach. About 12ish miles from Bissoe.

A mate of mine runs Revolve Bicycle Works that hires and sorts bikes and based in Devoran slightly further back from Bissoe - if you need any pointers or bike stuff, he's the man.

If you like mad jumps, look for "The Track" near Portreath - a BMX/MTB centre.
