      Trip Overview

      Created by: Anna Brownlow


      Discover Cornwall’s coastal beauty and rich heritage by E-bike. On a 7 day adventure, explore a region shaped by ancient stone, Atlantic tides and centuries of seafaring lore with your experienced Wilderness guides.

      Cycle along quiet lanes that wind through wooded valleys, open farmland and wild moor. Pause at castle-topped islands, hidden harbours and windswept cliffs where seabirds wheel overhead. Visit iconic landmarks like St Michael’s Mount and Lizard Point, and spend time in characterful seaside towns where whitewashed cottages lean into the breeze.

      As you ride, chat with your guide about the area’s unique history of tin miners, saints and mermaids whispered of in village tales. Taste fresh Cornish pasties, wander cobbled lanes lined with galleries and enjoy the joy of a holiday at just the right pace.

      On this guided E-bike holiday in Cornwall, return each evening to welcoming accommodation, where delicious local food and warm hospitality await you. Designed for those who seek the freedom of the open road, with a little extra boost, this is Cornwall as it’s meant to be experienced on two wheels.

After a gentle first pedal through parkland and wooded trails, pause at the elegant Lanhydrock country estate for tea and tales of the week ahead. From here, spin your way onto a tree-lined trail once used by thundering steam trains. This traffic-free route is now a haven in the Cornish countryside for cyclists and walkers alike. Cruise to your accommodation in a charming fishing village nestled on the north Cornish coast.

Today’s route offers a sense of space and remoteness as you skirt the edge of Bodmin Moor, one of Cornwall’s most atmospheric uplands, before winding back down to the traditional fishing village of Port Isaac. Your E-bike provides an added boost to ensure every mile is a pleasure as you soak in the panoramic views. End a day of exploring with a short ferry across the River Camel and return to your cosy accommodation full of visions of charming fishing villages and pastoral rolling farmland.

Today’s ride begins here, tracing shifting landscapes of wild coastline and peaceful rural paths before arriving in St Ives, your base for the next few nights. With cobbled lanes, independent galleries and golden beaches, this beloved seaside town is a fitting end to a spectacular day in the saddle.

Spend time exploring the castle stronghold and manicured gardens, uncovering the stories of this historic site.

Pause at a remarkably preserved ancient village to learn about this way of life long ago, complete with an underground passageway, whose purpose remains a mystery to this day. Continue on to a windswept engine house perched high on the cliffs, a symbol of Cornwall’s great mining past. From here, loop back along the coast on your E-bike via a tiny village steeped in mermaid folklore before returning to St Ives for a final night.

      in your own words

      This trip was amazing, we got to see so much of the 5 countries in so little time. The sites and locations that were mapped out were perfect. A rest day in Dublin is the perfect city to explore and find good food. The guides were knowledgeable and thoughtful, and made the trip very easy, all we had to do was bike and show up to dinner! Absolutely awesome experience.
