Route Description for Camel Trail: Wadebridge to Padstow

If you enjoy taking a relaxing stroll by the river’s edge or exploring the beautiful terrain along a seaside estuary, then the Camel Trail: Wadebridge to Padstow is a great option to explore a charming river in the southwest of England.

Along this portion of the wal;k, you will traverse a series of bridges, before finally arriving at the edge of the town.
