Modal filter on a link to the cycleway under the railway at Dobwalls (on the old road, replaced by the new bypass).
The Dobwalls bypass road goes over the railway (on the left) but the cycleway goes under, presumably using the old road.
Shared-use path by the A394, Helston
Three cycle stands at the foot of Castle Hill, Helston
The old road is actually still viable for cyclists as an alternative to slogging up the hill on the A394.
It's not a cycle route, but the bridge from Lidl to the boating lake in Helston keeps cyclists off the A394 for a little bit more.

Cycleway on former mineral tramway - meeting NCN route 3 in the middle distance
Byway (swinging to the left) - not a particularly useful short-cut.
Cornwall's first mass vaccination centre for Covid-19 is in the middle of nowhere (Stithians Fairground) so cars are pretty much vital.
The sign shown in #105228 has been replaced but is just as vague - keep left for all those destinations (but right for the pub).
