Ferry crossing to Padstow is a fairly short trip but is a fun way to arrive in Padstow. It is great for the kids and an enjoyable ride

Winding 30 miles (48 km) from Bodmin Moor to the sea, the River Camel is a beautiful stretch of water in Cornwall. The Camel Trail runs along stretches of the river, making it even more enjoyable for cyclists. The river is a haven for birds and other animals thanks to its varied habitats. Look out for peregrine falcons, kingfishers, and even bottlenose dolphins.

The Camel Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Camel Trail is 17 miles (27 km) long and runs from Padstow to Wenford Bridge. An old railway line, it is level and firm and largely either downhill or flat if you start in Padstow. Although there are some undulations, it is ideal for families or less experienced cyclists.

Boscarne Junction Heritage Railway Station

Highlight • Historical Site

Built during the Victorian era, in the late 19th century, this lovely railway station connected two railways: the Great Western Railway and the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway. The station ceased to be used in the 1980s but was brought back to life in the 90s, to serve as a heritage station.

Today, you can book a ride on a steam train and take a journey back through history. The Camel Trail passes alongside the junction and the Land's End Trail passes just the other side of the river.

Wadebridge Town Centre

Highlight • Cycleway

Small, picturesque town in north Cornwall. The city lies on the River Camel, at the beginning of the estuary that ultimately flows into the Atlantic.
Definitely worth a detour - easily accessible via the A39.
