Rame Cornwall's Forgotten Corner, remains unknown to the hordes of tourists who flock to Cornwall every year for their holidays. The Rame Peninsula is an area of outstanding natural beauty with quiet secluded beaches, magnificent scenery and spectacular walks. The beaches are both ideal for Surfers and Bathers and many are manned by lifeguards.

The Camel Trail is one of my favorite rides in the South West it is easy going it stays close to the river during its journey from Bodmin Moor to the sea.If you travel upstream from Poley's Bridge you can reach Camelford by footpath. Just below Poley's Bridge take the hill up to Blisland and then out onto the expanses of Bodmin Moor, different scenery. The Camel River always has a presence with the trail and if you pause to look you will find idyllic spots, images of light and shade from the river and the surrounding woodland and forestry. You even pass a vineyard that is open to the public at certain times this is shown on the Trail. I normally start my ride from Dunmere as this affords plenty of free parking and the Pub does excellent meals for the finish. In the summer season there are a couple of places to have a coffee or two on the way to Padstow. Wadebridge offers several places and then there is Padstow plenty of places to visit so take a bike lock and enjoy an hour or three there. Click here for Details
