Description by the author

Don't forget to stop at Portholland. Explore Mevagissey and discover some new bicycle path and tracks. Certainly catch an impression of the awe-inspiring castle along this route (Caerhays Castle). Certainly stop at St Goran before getting on the road again. A lot of ups and downs along this route, but also some steep climbs. There is little (no) chance you will be seeing cars along this route.
