Our Local Guide

We are often asked for recommendations on where to stay and what to do after dropping off your hire bikes. To help you get the best out of your time in Cornwall, we have put together a short guide to a few of our trusted local partners, accommodations, and nearby attractions.

Things To Do Nearby

The Eden Project

Just a short distance from the valley, these world-renowned biomes are an essential part of any Cornish itinerary. It is a fantastic full-day trip exploring global environments housed within a reclaimed china clay pit.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan

Located practically next door to us, Heligan offers 200 acres of fascinating history, romantic gardens, and ancient woodlands. It is one of the most mysterious and beautiful estates in the UK.

The Clay Trails (Sustrans)

For those wanting to stretch their legs further after tackling the Pentewan Trail, the National Cycle Network routes connect the historic china clay trails directly to the Eden Project, offering miles of traffic-free riding.

Local Accommodation

Self-Catering Cottages

If you are looking for a fixed base to explore the south coast, both Classic Cottages and Cornish Cottage Holidays offer an excellent portfolio of traditional properties in and around St Austell and the wider bay.

Guest Houses & B&Bs

For shorter stays or those who prefer not to cook, The Elms Guest House offers a friendly, relaxing environment in St Austell. Alternatively, Harmony Homestay provides a comfortable and welcoming stopover for travellers in the area.
