Lostwithiel Medieval Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Pronounced Lost-with-ee-ul, this is Cornwall's antiques capital. The name is believed to come from the Cornish 'lostwydhyel' or 'the place at the tail of the forest'.

On the bike, you will cross over the medieval bridge, the lowest crossing point of the river Fowey.

There are plenty of places to eat in Lostwithiel as well as quirky shops and riverside parks if you want to rest your weary legs.

Despite being a small town, there is a mainline train station here for trains to Plymouth or Penzance.

Respryn Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Dating back to the 15th century, Respryn Bridge is built from granite and is famous for being a strategic crossing point of the River Fowey during the English Civil War, when neighbouring Lanhydrock and Boconnoc were opposing sides.

Today it forms a much more peaceful river crossing on the edge of the Lanhydrock Estate, and is protected from heavier traffic by the addition of stone bollards at either end.
