Nice sandy beach. Makes a nice place to stop and rest for a while.

Nice flat multi-use track. Tarmac for the 1st half then hard parked gravel for the rest. Suitable for road bikes, at least I ride it with my 28mm tyres without any issues.

Lovely Gardens with a very unique story to tell - worth reading or watching. Cost is 22.50 pounds for adults in the 2023 season.

The magnificent garden, laid out at the end of the 19th century, fell into disrepair after the Second World War and was completely overgrown. Finally, one could hardly recognize anything of its original splendor - it was lost "lost". The Lost Garden was then rediscovered in the 1990s and restored to its original form by Tim Smit. In the meantime huge rhododendron trees had grown. This story makes the garden so special. A once lost garden has been revived in its old splendour. But even without that history, it's a very worth seeing place.

Between London Apprentice and Pentewan runs the disused Pentewan Railway Line. It is now a flat traffic free trail of around 4.5km in one direction so makes the perfect place to run at a consistent pace. It also makes a great way to link St Austell with the coast path for a longer run. As it is so flat it is either a great warm up or warm down after a hilly coast run.
