Asphalted footpaths north of Hayle station

Link to bridleway bridge over the railway

End of asphalt and start of unpaved link to the bridleway bridge over the railway.

There's an asphalt path parallel to the left, but it's easier to use this access road.

Asphalt footpath from Hayle station

The lane from Carbis Bay to Lelant - perhaps a better option than the shared-use path which leaves cyclists on the congested main road through Lelant.

No Cycling on this path past Lelant church to the beach

No Cycling on this footbridge over the railway - I'm not sure you could legally get a bike to this point anyway.

Start of bridleway to #188813

Footpath leading to a bridleway

Bridleway towards Hayle

National speed limit on this byway around the west side of Leedstown

Footpath on the National Trust's Godolphin Estate - this could easily be opened up for cycling

Route to car park and bridleway on the National Trust's Godolphin Estate

The cycle parking at the National Trust's Godolphin House is at the far end of the disabled car park. Obviously. No need for any signage then. Unlike for the walking routes to the route.

So that's where the cycle parking is at the National Trust's Godolphin House - at the far end of the disabled car park. Obviously. No need for any signage then.

Right-angle turn on quiet road coming out at the top end of Truro station

How many cars can you fit into one closed road?

NCN route 3 forks left here (it's quite a busy road)

Modal filter on cut-through in Truro

This seems to be a one-way link from NCN route 32 to NCN route 3

Junction of NCN route 32 and a variant link to NCN route 3

There are no bike stands here, despite the obvious need in central Truro - these bikes are on their own stands.

Pedestrian and cycle zone (I think the van had a disabled permit)

No Entry except buses, cycles and taxis

Unobtrusive route sign for NCN route 3 - turn right heading westwards (or left heading eastwards)

Dropped kerb and modal filter on pedestrian route to the centre of Truro

Pedestrian routes ahead and right to the centre of Truro

Quieter routes ahead and right towards Truro station

Footway build-out to make the junction safer - there's a quieter route from the station to the centre to the right.

Cornwall Council's Beryl Bikes have reached Truro station

Bridleway around the north side of Gweek.

Start of bridleway around the north side of Gweek.

Rather random starting point for a shared-use footway into Truro

The road from the A30 to Zelah has been closed to motor traffic and made cycles-only (NCN32) during the A30 dialling works. The cycle light changes at the same time as the main light so is a bit pointless.

NCN route 32 diversion during A30 dialling works

NCN route 3 in Newlyn - the road narrows to a single lane in places, but cyclists can generally keep going.

A large hatched area for just two bike stands in a Newlyn car park

What a shame - a lovely shelter on this industrial estate, with a useless wheelbender rack

Bridleway (not shown as such on the online maps)

Bridleway by the River Hayle

Bikepacking the hard way - with a rucksack. Cornish hills are steep, too, and just as you get into your stride they end.

Permissive path (actually a paved road) through the Trelowarren estate to the café and craft centre

No cycle parking at the Trelowarren café and craft centre, but they'll be fine just leaning on the wall.

Ilex avenue on the the permissive path (actually a paved road) through the Trelowarren estate to the café and craft centre

The permissive path (actually a paved road) through the Trelowarren estate to the café and craft centre is supposedly closed from October to January - I'm not convinced it really is.

No Footpath, No Bridleway

Bridleway above Chysauster

Start of path beneath the railway - quite rough and narrow in places

Disused car park at the former Lelant Saltings park and ride station - this could also be used to create a route to take cyclists off the main road to St Ives

Cut-through on the Cornish coast path which could also be improved as a cycle route to the cyclists off the main road to St Ives

Road cut by the A30 Penzance bypass, but there's still a cut-through and crossing to the youth hostel, which could be improved as a useful cycle route.

Bike-sharing station in normal use again (see #195434 ).

Cycling Prohibited sign - but it's ok for a car to be parked there.

Cycling Prohibited

Road closure for Mazey Day in Penzance - several roads were blocked like this, with the normal signs just beyond.

Cycle stand and Beryl Bikes as near as feasible to the bike-sharing station

The bike sharing station is just right for setting up a stall

Alley in Penzance

The cycle route is on the road, so this sign is pretty invisible to anyone using it

Beryl Bikes bike-sharing location

Very narrow footway - get rid of the car storage and put in a cycleway as well

Cycle parking at Lidl, Penzance

More a petrol station than a regular Co-op shop - no cycle parking

Route sign for NCN route 3, on the road - surely it could go through the park or to the left of it?

Covered cycle parking in a pretty pointless location, Penzance

Obstructive access to cycle parking on the edge of Penzance

Very unhelpful sign - the cycle parking is at the far end of the car park but they don't want cyclists to go that way, they have to use the road or dismount and use the footway.

Route sign on NCN route 3, Penzance

Penzance promenade - so much space but there's no cycle parking, and cyclists on NCN route 3 have to use the road.

Planters to make the pedestrian crossing safer, apparently

Road closure for a fun fair
