The Cornish Alps

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Cornish Alps is a name given locally to this area which certainly has an alpine feel, even if not the high altitudes and ski stations.

The Cornish Alps are a side effect of the china clay industry which creates massive spoil heaps, known as sky tips. Some, like Carluddon, just north of St Austell, are a distinct pyramid shape, while others blend more into the environment. An area of Cornwall very little visited but certainly worth cycling through.
