Location
- North Cornwall
Wadebridge,
(just a short riverside walk away) is the ideal location for
exploring North Cornwall. Located on the River Camel, Wadebridge
has good road access to the villages on the North Cornwall
coast, as well as, Newquay, Truro and the rest of Cornwall.
Leading
away from Wadebridge towards Padstow and the sea is the Camel
Estuary - famous for its long stretches of sandy beaches and
gentle shoreline. The Camel Estuary, is a major attraction
on the North Cornish coast. The tidal waters stretch from
the mouth of the estuary some five miles south towards Wadebridge
-providing a calm, sheltered expanse of water protected from
the Atlantic ocean by Stepper Point, Pentire point and the
sand bar at the mouth of the estuary, creating ideal conditions
for all varieties of water sports.
Visitors
can hire bicycles from Wadebridge and cycle along the level
Camel Trail cycle route to Padstow (an 11 mile round trip
- the more adventurous can chose to continue on past towards
Bodmin). The journey takes you along the shoreline of the
estuary, providing you with a wealth of opportunities to stop
and watch the local wildlife (badgers, rabbits, herons, cattle
egrets, swans and wading birds of all types).
The
trip is an easy introduction to the pleasures of cycling,
with many seats along the route to stop and admire the view.
Pleasure, fishing and bird watching trips are available from
nearby Rock and Padstow.
