XC in Cornwall?

Anyone know of any XC / scenic singletrack in Cornwall - having a few days down there with Ms Bubba so it needs to be easy coz she's a novice rider.

There's a fair bit on Bodmin Moor. You googled?

Yeah, i've tried googling but most results are guided tours/courses/etc.

There looks to be a nice little coast to coast ride and other bits and bobs that Ms Bubbs should be able to handle.

The Abbeyford Woods shore was great fun - well worth a stop off if you're in the area - that camel-hump thing took me a few goes to get right - very tricky. Didn't do everything there as only had a few hours but there's all sorts of technical stuff including a see-saw that moves sideways as well as down.
