For everyone's safety
there is a special code for the Trail:
-
Walkers
always have right of way - on busy days, keep on the river-ward
side of the Trail and walk two abreast.
-
Prams
and buggies have right of way. Wheelchairs do too!
-
Cyclists
- you must remember that walkers always have right of way. This
means that you stop for them; don't force them into the brambles
just because you can't be bothered to sIow down.
Cyclists - shout "hello" or ring your bell when you
approach other users from behind, to let them know you are there.
If you can't get through a gap please stop. If you can't get
round a walker please stop.
-
Cyclists
must go slowly. The beauty of the Camel Trail is that there
arc no obstructions on the route, but it should not be used
as a race track!
-
Dogs
leave a mess - owners, please take a bag with you and use the
dog waste bins at Guineaport and Padstow so the Trail and verges
will be pleasant and safe to walk on.
Dogs chase other creatures - it's in their nature. Owners,
please stop your dog bothering other Trail users, wildlife and
adjoining landowners' stock.
We want you to keep your dog under control - if this means you
have to keep it on a lead please do so.
-
Cyclists
with dogs - be honest; who's in charge of what when you're cycling
along with your dog on a lead? Or off it, for that matter? Make
sure you do not endanger other users.
-
Horses
must walk at all times. This means no trotting, cantering or
galloping. Groups should go at the pace of the slowest or wait
for it to catch up. Horses are huge and skittish compared to
a toddler on a bike. If your horse is easily spooked don't let
it suffer - take it somewhere quiet.
-
Horses
are not allowed on NCDC's section from Nanstallon to Poley's
Bridge
The costs of maintaining the Trail are paid by Cornwall County
Council. A donation would be appreciated to ensure the
continued existence of the Camel Trail as a recreational route.
The Countryside Officer is responsible for the management and
the promotion of the Camel Trail.
The Service produces various leaflets and booklets about the
Trail and Service Area and runs an events programme throughout
the year.
