Camel Estuary
towns and villages
The harbour town of Padstow, lies at the mouth of the Camel Estuary. Although not part of the Cornwall AONB, the town provides an important link between the Camel Estuary and Bedruthan to Padstow sections of the AONB. The town of Rock mirrors Padstow on the opposite side of the estuary and again lies just outside the AONB boundary.
Wadebridge, lies at the heart of the Camel Estuary and the Camel Trail - a level, off-road walking , cycling and horse riding route running along the bed of the former Bodmin to Padstow railway. Wadebridge is in the middle on the 17 miles trail - its shops and cafes providing a welcome break to trail users. Wadebridge also has a number of cycle hire outlets offering day hire to complete the trail.
