Evening Rides Return to the Camel Trail
Experience the Magic of Dusk Cycling
As the days grow longer and the golden evening light stretches across Cornwall, we're delighted to announce the return of our popular evening rides on the Camel Trail. Starting from 2pm daily, these special late-day adventures offer a different perspective on one of Cornwall's most beloved cycling routes – plus a 20% discount on standard hire rates!
The Magic of Evening Cycling
There's something truly special about experiencing the Camel Trail as the day winds down. The pathway takes on a magical quality in the evening light, with the sun's golden rays filtering through the trees and casting a warm glow across the estuary waters. Wildlife becomes more active during these quieter hours, with birds feeding along the shoreline and occasionally otters making an appearance for the lucky few.
The evening also brings a welcome tranquility to the trail. After the bustle of the day visitors, the path becomes noticeably calmer, allowing you to cycle at your own pace and truly absorb the natural beauty surrounding you.

Our evening ride service is refreshingly simple:
Available daily from 2pm
First come, first served – no advance booking required

20% discount on all bike hires compared to standard day rates
