Moors & Mines MTB Explorer Full Day Tour

The big one! A stunning off road adventure hitting all the highlights of the stunning wild West Cornwall.

We’ll ride the remote Tinner’s Way over the Penwith Moors past prehistoric standing stones, descend a fun single track to the Ocean at Watch Croft and hit the old mining trails around Crown Mines. The off road trails on the Penwith Moors include singletrack, doubletrack and a small amount of quiet country lanes. Outside of winter thanks to the natural bedrock the tracks hold up well, however during and after a prolonged wet period they can get very muddy and wet. In dry periods, parts of the singletrack can get rutted. Please feel free to discuss with us the suitability of these tours prior to booking.
