We have nine different bicycle tours to choose from, ranging from a long weekend to a two week trip, and catering for a wide range of abilities and preferences of daily riding distance.
Our Sport Cycle Tours make the most of Cornwall’s hilly coastal terrain, with rewarding views and beautiful scenery. Some even include the 28% incline at Hustyn Hill – one of the toughest hill climbs in the UK.
We’ve introduced a fleet of electric cycles which can be hired for our Leisure Cycle Tours. The Giant Quick E models use batteries to give cyclists a little bit of extra pedal power.
Tammy Kimbrough2023-09-27We had a great vacation with Cornish Cycle Tours. We did a customized tour for 8 days and nights. We were glad that we selected electric bikes as it made it very easy to add on any additional side trips that we wanted and allowed us to do longer mileages per day. Lanyon was very organized and detailed with his correspondence. He was very flexible in designing a tour for us. And, he picked us up from the train station and personally got us going with the bikes, then dropped us back off at the end of our tour. I can highly recommend this company and service.
Catherine Davies-Colley2023-09-264.8 really. We had a fabulous 19 days with this company in April 2023. Lanyon was only a phone call away. My husband and I from New Zealand did the Cornwall and Scilly 14 day tour with extra days thrown in, where we wanted to explore more. The accommodation was great and the hosts at all the nights were welcoming and very friendly. This was trip I spent along time planning and Cornwall and Scilly exceeded our expectations. We used e-bikes, because we wanted to enjoy the cycling, without working too hard. These were really appreciated on the steep ups and downs of the east coast, and on the days where the weather was inclement. There was a little issue with the maps and instructions on occasions( as sign posts or buildings had changed), we never got really lost for long (why I gave it the 4.8). I recommend this tour, especially if you want to take time to explore this beautiful part of the world. P.S. the food was amazing everywhere.
Annette Heinz2023-09-05Poldark Tour Unterkünfte teilweise schmuddelig ( wadebridge)und viel zu kleine Zimmer m. mini Fenster ( Porthleven) und dann auch noch dunkel gestrichen. Kofferservice bis jetzt prima.!!!!!!! Zimmer Falmouth gut. Charlestown u. St.Ives gut.(Pedn Olva) Sind gespannt was uns noch erwartet. Route deutlich anstrengender als gedacht.
David Huc2023-07-18The tour lived up to all its promises. Sumptuous landscapes, breathtaking views and picturesque stops. The stages were easy to complete in a day, despite the hills and unpaved sections (you need a suitable bike, which was the case for us). The welcome in the accommodation was always excellent, friendly and attentive. The quality lived up to our expectations. Unfortunately we didn't manage to use the GPS application provided, but with the step-by-step guide we were able to recreate the route easily on Google maps. This trip has left us with some wonderful ans unforgettable memories.
Michelle Bourke2023-06-16What an amazing trip! Lanyon could not have been any more helpful-our ebikes were fantastic and much appreciated on those tough Cornish hills! Accomodation was spot on also. Many thanks for lots of great memories!
Graeme David2023-04-04Four of us from Australia did the five-day Cornwall tour. The service provided by Lanyon Rowe was excellent. Lanyon was at all times obliging, and the equipment provided to us (including bikes) was excellent. We had some minor misadventures including a broken seat (caused by a frisky wayward little dog on a trail in the woods somewhere) that stalled us for a couple of hours, but a replacement was got to us as soon as possible. The tour route including roads, trails, towns, and accommodation provided us with a great introduction to south Cornwall. We have done various rides in parts of the world, and this was up there with the best in the 'developed' countries. Well done Lanyon.
Alison Sandercock2022-10-11Lanyon customised a tour for me to suit adding an extra night of accommodation. Cornwall put on a show with the weather, sunshine and 16 degrees which made riding a delight. The bike was in excellent condition and daily luggage pick up was seamless. Thank you Lanyon for a great couple of days through quiet scenic Cornwall streets and villages. October a perfect time to ride :)
Torsten2022-10-04We did the 14 days Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Tour. A wonderful and very active vacation. Our tour was adapted a bit without losing anything of its appeal. And this was the ultimate proof of Cornish Cycle Tours' vast experience and service orientation. Ten out of ten! Would do it again with you, Lanyon. Thank's a lot.
Lynne Sim2022-09-25After 2 cancellations due to Covid we finally made it to the UK and the long awaited 8 day Poldark Tour. Cycling along the narrow country lanes through the picturesque fishing villages, past golden sandy beaches with me on the written directions and husband in charge of the GPS staying on the "blue line" it was all fun and adventure. Our favourite day was cycling between Sennen Cove and St Ives with the dry stone walls dividing the green fields and the ruins of the stacks and engine rooms of the old tin mines silhouetted against the blue sea - pure Cornwall. Full marks for communication and organisation of this tour. Thanks for the memories, Lanyon
Monik Kotecha2022-08-28I am very glad I chose Cornish Cycle Tours. Lanyon helped me build an itinerary that suited our interests. He was extremely friendly and approachable. The whole trip went smoothly with excellent accomodation and recommendations for places to see and eat. A truely memorable bike ride with my son.
Bruce M2023-09-21Biking Cornwall Just completed the 7 day Poldark Cycle Tour with Cornish Cycle Tours. Absolutely loved this adventure and all the assistance Lanyon provided us in arranging and executing this trip. Weather was not the best but seeing this beautiful Cornwall coast was magic and provided us with great memories and stories. Suggestions for other bikers. Hills are significant and numerous. E bikes for leisure - older bikers is key. Be ready for rapid weather changes and gear up accordingly. B&B accommodations are really great. Familiarize yourself with the Ride GPS app. Invite another couple to add to the adventure.
Astrid W2023-09-20Sehr gut zusammengestellte Tour durch Nord- und Südcornwall Es war eine tolle Route und Lanyon hat uns gut begleitet. Er hat die Tour extra für uns zusammengestellt. An einem Regentag hat er uns abgeholt und nach St. Ives gebracht. So konnten wir diesen Ort in Ruhe besichtigen und später per Bus und Zug zum nächsten Ort weiterfahren. Die Fahrräder hat er natürlich wie gewohnt bereits zum nächsten Hotel gebracht. Die Fahrräder waren für dieses Gelände top! Das einzige Negative war, dass wir in St. Agnes nicht die gewünschten Zimmer erhielten. Wir hatten 2 Doppelzimmer zur Einzelnutzung gebucht, bekamen aber nur ein Einzelzimmer und ein Doppelzimmer mit zwei schmalen Einzelbetten.
Obawon2023-08-084 Cycling Stages in West-Cornwall A trip that we'll never forget. Exciting landscape, impressive witnesses of history and culture, outstanding friendly people everywhere, considerate drivers. Tastefully selected places to stay and a real good equipment.
Friederike J2023-07-23Eine traumhaft schöne Cornwall Woche Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche auf der Poldark Tour in jeglicher Hinsicht: ausgezeichnete Route mit täglich wechselnder, vielfältiger und wunderschöner Landschaft, tolle Orte mit sehr gemütlichen, sauberen und landestypischen Unterkünften inkl. leckerem Frühstück, erstklassiger Service von Lanyon Rowe, als z.B. meine Kette am E Bike gerissen ist, war er sofort da und hat sie repariert. Lanyon hat auch sehr gute Tipps für Sehenswürdigkeiten in die Reiseroute eingearbeitet. Insgesamt absolut empfehlenswert!

estherheld2023-07-016-days luxury Cornish cycling tour Very well organized cycling trip including baggage transport and fantastic accommodation with well chosen hotels and rooms. The detailed cycling instructions, maps and app were very helpful and the documentation was very accurate. The bicycles were in very good technical conditions. The transport of our suitcases was fabulous, our bags arrived in the next hotel always in time. The scenery of the cliffs, beaches and coves was fantastic and we were glad to have hired e-bikes to cycle through the hilly areas of Cornwall. We had an outstanding experience and enjoyed every day of our tour.
Sandra_H0402023-06-20Great tour in beautiful scenery! We booked the 4 days Penwith tour and had the best of times! Everything was well prepared by Cornish Cycle Tours and the contact was lovely. The distances per day were not very long but considering the steep hills in this area, it can still be a challenge. I highly recommend to book e-bikes for this tour! Many thanks again to Lanyon & Co for the fantastic service. We enjoyed the tour very much it it was a great opener to our Cornwall Holidays.
Holly B2022-09-16A wonderful adventure! We just returned from a fabulous trip with Cornish Cycles starting in Falmouth and then on to Sennen Cove, St Ives, Porthleven, and back to Falmouth. I wasn’t too sure what to expect, but Lanyon did an amazing job with providing quality bikes, clear routes, and great inns. Lanyon is very organized, kind, and runs a top-notch business! I highly recommend using Cornish Cycles for your self-guided tour. The towns and countryside are gorgeous, the people are kind, and the hills were bigger than expected. Get ready! You might also want to pack rain gear. This tour was really the highlight of our 2 week visit to England! Thank you for providing such wonderful service Cornish Cycles!
Tjansen2022-08-25Oplev skønne Cornwall på e-bike We have just done The Poldark Cycle Tour. A fantastic trip with stays at lovely inns and B&Bs. The contact with Lanyon from planning to completion of the trip was fantastic. We can only recommend the company.
