      Definitely one of the best Chris, being local myself its my favourite ride to do either direction, truly feels like stepping back in time, amazing view's, good cafe stops and awesome cycling

    7. Michael Barnes on

      Interesting how other Cornish people pronounce place names local to me. The north coast road is my favourite cycling road, especially the stretch from Portreath to Land’s End.

    10. Matt Boulton on

      I love the road out of St Ives through to Lands end. As a round trip I usually head from Carbis Bay out to Marazion and round that way. Land’s End back to St Ives is always some grim headwind 😫 When I was really new to cycling I tried a flying start on tackling Raginnis hill, blew up before I’d really got anywhere and failed to unclip in front of a group pensioners 😂

      i start in porthcurno , st ives , portreath back to hayle then across to portleven , pra sands marizion , penzance mousehole , lamorna, home , epic ride

    14. Simon forrester on

      Done a similar route in the summer from gwithian, beautiful route, return route via mousehole lovely view from the top overlooking mounts bay and st michaels mount

    15. Michael Evans on

      I've ridden that route to Lands End but started from Perranwell Station 🚉. We were on our way to start the LEJOG with friends. We rode it early early in the morning started at 4.00 and on the coastal roads we didn't see a car hardly at all and all we could hear were birds singing. Will never forget it, loved it.

    16. Joel Stinton on

      Only done this ride a couple times from the other direction (clockwise coming through from Marazion, Mousehole, Lands end etc). Can be unrelenting but it’s certainly rewarding. Stunning scenery.

    18. Jake Williams on

      I rode this road in April then down to Mousehole and Marazion before cutting across country back to Hayle and St Ives – 10/10 100k route! Luckily had lovely blue skies like you guys and it couldn’t have been a better day out! Now… just to persuade my wife that we need to take my bike on holiday again next year… 😅

    20. Simon Rash on

      A truly stunning part of Cornwall. Have stayed in the area on holiday a few times now and it's just so lovely and peaceful – especially early mornings!

    21. camerauk on

      Lovely route Chris it’s part of the Lands End sportive, which I’ve done it in pouring rain and howling winds and beautiful sunshine (I will leave it to which I preferred lol )

    24. Amer Rides Bikes on

      I am inclined to agree! Haven't cycled it in a while sadly but I did blast down it on my motorbike yesterday and it was an absolute joy. A great video of a great place and what looked like a great ride too 😊

    27. Pete Trundell on

      I’ve done this route a few times going the other way and I’m totally hooked. The best road for so many reasons. If you can catch it in warm, still weather it’s truly magical. Will be returning to try it on a single speed soon.

      Carthrottle heeft een paar maanden een paar leuke videos gemaakt in deze omgeving, South coast 500 als tegenhanger van de northcoast 500. Leuk dat je zo je omgeving laat zien.

    33. valleyflaneur on

      I was there this summer. My first time in Cornwall and I was blown away. I did this coastal road a couple of times in the other direction and it was breathtaking and virtually no traffic. I was looping up from nr Mousehole and the inland route through Lower Drift, Sancreed to St Just was also beautiful – although without the same kind of views. But the coastal route was incredible. It's right up there for me among favourite rides, although personally, I have to put the Black Isle just above it.
