Goss Moor Nature Reserve boasts a 12 kilometre (7.5 mile) circular cycling route which provides great opportunities to appreciate the varied wildlife in this Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). As the reserve sits in the valley basin it makes for a largely flat cycling route, a rarity in Cornwall. Some say Goss Moor was one of King Arthur's hunting grounds. If not that old, it was listed in the Doomsday Book so can certainly trace its history back to then.
