Pentewan Railway Trail

Highlight • Trail

Between London Apprentice and Pentewan runs the disused Pentewan Railway Line. It is now a flat traffic free trail of around 4.5km in one direction so makes the perfect place to run at a consistent pace.

It also makes a great way to link St Austell with the coast path for a longer run. As it is so flat it is either a great warm up or warm down after a hilly coast run.

Pentewan Valley Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

This shared use hiking and cycling path passes by the St Austell River in the Pentewan Valley. It was an important place in the area's industrial history with tin being transported down the river from the St Austell mines to be shipped out at Pentewan Harbour. The river was even straightened to simplify the journey.
