'The Cornish Way' is an exciting project which has been developed by the Countryside Service, in partnership with Sustrans. Starting at the county boundary near Bude, its six inter-linking trails for cyclists and walkers pass through towns and villages as they make their way through Cornwall's distinctive countryside to Land's End. Certain off-road routes are also accessible to equestrians and the mobility-impaired. http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/Tourism/Cornish_way/home.htm
