Thanks @fossala and @ChrisF

Having watched the Alpine Challenge video, linked by DevonDamo, I think we will certainly manage the section from St Austell up to the Wheal Martyn museum but the section over to the Eden project is maybe a bit too off road for my wifes hybrid bike.

Thanks DevonDamo and peetee

Hi,
We will be visiting St Austell in a couple of weeks and I have been trying to find more information about the Clay Trails.
My wife suffers from Vertigo and doesn't like cycling too close (i.e. less than a few metres) to steep slopes.

I was looking at using the Wheal Martyn trail that runs from:
Tremena Road, St Austell (https://w3w.co/aged.nooks.tries)
Alongside Bodmin Road (B3274)
Drummer's Hill
North of Ruddle's Pit
South of the Carlaze solar farm
Up to Trethurgy
and then down to the Eden Project.

Does anyone have any local knowledge of how close those paths are to the edge ?
Are we talking a couple of feet or a couple of metres ?

We don't mind having to walk short sections of the route, but we don't want to end up walking the whole 5 miles.

I did try looking at various sites like, http://www.claytrails.co.uk/ but I cannot find anything that gives detailed pictures or video of the whole route.

Many thanks.
