Description by the author

A coffee stop isn't an unnecessary luxury. It'll be hard tour. This cycling tour in and around the municipality of Mevagissey introduces you to this municipality and its surroundings. There is little (no) chance you will be seeing cars along this route. This route is also suitable for a race bike. Paved roads along this route. During this cycling route you'll be cycling in the shade of a castle (Caerhays Castle). A must-see attraction along this route: Lost Gardens of Heligan. A great route! My score: 9 (out of 10).
