The Clay Trails are part of The Cornish Way which offers over 200 miles of linked trails across the county. The trails link to a network of cycle routes covering the UK, known as The National Cycle Network. This organisation is co-ordinated by Sustrans, the UK's leading sustainable transport charity, which works with the support of over 450 local authorities and other groups.
