Start of paved route to the A30 underpass and Camborne - many people ignore the request and walk on the edge of the field.
Route north from the A30 underpass - for a paved route, it's quite remarkably muddy. It would be a useful commuting route with a little improvement.
Route from the A30 underpass to Camborne (presumably a road severed when the dual-carriageway was built)
Marked as a cycleway on OpenCycleMap but this really a footpath link to the route under the A30 (narrow, no dropped kerb)

The Dobwalls bypass road goes over the railway but the cycleway goes under, presumably using the old road.
Absolutely brand new Co-op shop, and they've put the cycle stands as far away as possible from the entrance - so no-one will use them, and Co-op management won't bother next time.
Worrying road closure signs - in fact it refers to a side road, the main route to St Keverne was open.
Bridleway alongside the road to Penrose Farm in the National Trust's Penrose estate - as a cyclist I'd keep left here.
Ahead, track to the Loe Pool ih the National Trust's Penrose estate, to the right footpath to Penrose Farm and car park

As promised, cycle parking at the new Penzance Heliport - more use for staff than passengers, I imagine.
The National Trust has improved this section of the Cornish coastal path for wheelchairs, but it's not surprising that cyclists are using it too.

End of shared-use footway on Newham Road, Truro - it's not at all obvious that NCN route 3 forks right here.
Shared-use footway on the edge of Truro - the side road would take cyclists through the Park & Ride site to the Tresillian road.
The main gates of the National Trust's Trengwainton Gardens - all access now is via the car park, but wouldn't it be nice if pedestrians and cyclists could enter (and park) here?
The dead-end road is narrowed to a single lane here, but they still felt it necessary to install awkward barriers as well as Cyclists Dismount signs.

No cycle facilities of any kind at the National Trust's Trengwainton Gardens, despite their being right on the edge of Penzance.
A large pothole in an awful location - forcing cyclists and drivers to the right just where they really need to keep left at the blind corner.
The promenade in Penzance is being improved - mainly due to storm damage, but also because the Tour of Britain is due to start here on 6 Sept 2020
No Motor Vehicles ie cycling permitted on this section of the Cornish coastal path, although you'll have to come back the same way.

This two-car train on the Truro-Falmouth branch (popular with students) has an area with tip-up seats and four cycle spaces (2 + 2).
Road closed with very restrictive barriers when motor traffic was diverted to a new development - pretty pointless, and I can't see anyone using it.
