About the route

Starting point

PL26 7AB

From the A390 at St Austell, turn onto the B3273 Pentewan Road by the Petrogas Filling Station and MacDonalds. After driving about 0.6 mile take the track on your left opposite the Cornwall Hotel and Spa. Follow the track for about 200m until you get to a car park at the head of the Pentewan Trail next to Roseweek Sewerage Works Pentewan Road, Saint Austell, Cornwall PL26 7AB. We will be meeting in the car park.

Starting from the car park at the head of the Pentewan Trail, near Roseweek sewerage works, the trail follows a mostly traffic free route on a disused railway track for approximately 3 miles to Pentewan village. The trail follows the St Austell River as it descends slowly through beautiful scenery. Following a leisurely coffee stop in Pentewan, the reverse route takes you back to the car park up a very gradual ascent. The route is not suitable for road bikes due to the nature of the surface of the trail, especially at this time of year.
