Close at hand is Bodmin moor. With a startling variety of different geographical and historical features, it's just as mysterious and exciting as when we first started discovering it more than forty years ago. We can give lots of advice on good walks.
For stunning scenic walks Cornwall's coastal path is hard to beat and as it takes in the whole of the Cornish coast you can do as much or as little as you please.

Once off the main roads there are hundreds of miles of quiet country lanes to explore by bike. There is also the Camel Trail which gives a range of cycle rides (or walks) Between Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow. The section between Wadebridge and Padstow is the easiest and the most spectacular and bikes can be hired cheaply at either end.
