The Camel Trail - Wadebridge To Padstow

Leaving Wadebridge - the Aqueduct.

From Wadebridge downwards the river becomes an estuary.

There are excellent walks which sprout from the Camel Trail and these give opportunities to become aware of local history - the shaping of the future from the past.

It has a great advantage over the other parts of the trail since it offers the amenities of towns at both ends.

This part of the trail is always changing. Look at a view from one angle and a few minutes later it is different.

When you look across the estuary on your way up or down the trail, it will have changed significantly by the time that you do your return trip as the tide ebbs or flows.

 

This is a busy section of the trail during the summer and school holidays.

 

Around The Quarry.

The view from the Quarries looking back

It might be quiet.

Perhaps the biggest section of railway cutting on the old railway line - near Old Town Cove.

A lot of money was spent recently to refurbish the Iron Bridge. Looking back at the Iron Bridge from nearer Padstow.

Padstow draws closer.

Looking towards Rock.

Once into Padstow park your bike although space can be difficult to find, it can be very busy in Padstow during the main holiday periods.
