Experience Newquay
Cycling
Newquay is a great base from which to explore the county by bike. To help you on your way we've got several cycling maps available for download. All are trails on the Cornish Way, part of the Sustrans ‘National Cycle Network' and developed by the Countryside Service. The scheme is a large project aimed at opening up large areas of Cornwall for the benefit of cyclists.
