Our favourite rides all head west from St Ives for far-reaching views of the Atlantic and remote moors. For a shorter ride, book lunch in Zennor and make a day of it. From Zennor you can push on and circle back over the moorlands via ancient megalithic sites or carry on all the way round the peninsula.
The moors can be exposed when it is windy, so we've suggested a couple of more sheltered rides to St Michael's Mount on the South Coast and Godrevy Head to the East of St Ives.
