Fantastic beginner trails! They are all short so perfect for kiddies and nothing that isn't rollable. I feel on a busy day it could become a bit crowded but when I visited I was the only person there so could push as fast as i liked!

Nice selection of food available to choose from if you're hungry and normally some scrumptious cakes if that's more to your fancy! Indoor and outdoor seating available and I've always found them to be very cyclist friendly. The other day when I visited (April '24) I was covered from head to toe in mud after spending a very wet afternoon on the MTB trails and the lovely ladies didn't even bat an eye as I was dripping whilst waiting for my coffee.

Cornwalls industrial heritage at its finest! Fabulous peaceful valley with a lovely tranquil atmosphere. Be aware if leaving the road to explore the trails it does get extremely muddy when it's been raining!
