Walk Details
Here’s another wheelchair friendly walk in Cornwall. This walk follows the route of the disused mineral tramway line, that in the1800s was used for the local copper mines.
It is a Coast to Coast Trail, from the port of Devoran on the south coast to the historic mining harbour of Portreath on the North coast and is ideal for wheelchairs of all types as it follows a purpose built track and is generally flat.
You can do as much or as little of it as you like. For our walk we started the walk from the Devoran Bissoe Trail Car Park and followed the cycle trail to Bissoe, where there is a café and accessible loos. The route is very straight forward, just follow the track! Be aware, this route is popular with cyclists.
Nearest Accessible loos: Old Conns Works, Bike Chain Bike Hire, Bissoe, TR4 8QZ
Carpark: 3 Sand Cottages, Devoran, Truro TR3 6PF
Nearest Train (or tube) Station(s):

Remember to prepare properly before heading out on any type of walk or outdoor activity. Tell people where you are going and what time you are expected back. As Wainwright says "There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing".
