With the promise of unbroken sunshine what better way to spend the day than riding the Mineral Tramway - if you need a bike head for the hire centre at Bissoe or the Bike Barn..........
a chance to cycle through rare woods......
hidden mineshafts........
seasonal flora and fauna displays.......
the whole route is well signposted and safe........
the home of Cornish Clotted Cream........
allows you to cycle coat-to-coast in a matter of hours.......
and see the reamins of the world's oldest railway track........
on almost flat terrain for the entire route - which proved no problem for a group of six with a combined age of over 360 years!!.......
ending on the north coas at the historic port of Portreath.......
with its hugely and notoriously difficult to navigate entrance channel.......
plenty of information at hand......
the local fishing fleet isn't what it used to be.......
the huge inner huge harbour is almost devoid of working boats and now bounded by houses - the port once acted as the main supply point for the supply of coal to the Dolcoath Mine.
