The Camel Trail is a dedicated cycle path that runs from Padstow, via Wadebridge, to the gorgeous village
of Blisland on Bodmin Moor. Laid on the bed of a disused railway, it offers flat, easy cycling through some
absolutely wonderful countryside.
The more active among you may wish to cycle the entire trail - 17 miles each way!
Most people stick to the Padstow to Wadebridge section - 6 miles each way - with pubs at either end!
But if you want to enjoy The Camel Trail at its tranquil, rural, peaceful best - visit Blisland.
Here you can enjoy a meal and a pint at the award winning Blisland Inn.

Padstow Golf
For serious golfers, St Enodoc Golf Course is one of Britain's finest golf courses!
A classic links in fabulous condition - and a genuine test for even the finest golfers.
English Poet Laureate, Sir John Betjeman played here often, and wrote his famous poem "Seaside Golf."
He is buried in the churchyard of tiny St Enodoc Church - beside the 10th fairway.

Padstow Beaches
If just relaxing is your thing - the Padstow Beaches are excellent.
Caution - Padstow is on an estuary and the current here can be strong and dangerous.
If you want to swim in the ocean, choose a beach with lifeguards - and stay within the patrolled areas.
The coast path north of Padstow takes you to fabulous string of beaches including St Georges Cove,
Harbour Cove, and Hawkers Cove.
The walk to St Georges Cove takes about 20 minutes and is well worth the trouble if you want to escape the
crowds. There are also great views from the coast path - every step of the way.

Padstow
Padstow has two claims to world fame...
Padstow's Rick Stein, the best television chef of them all, lives and works here.
And The Padstow Obby-Oss Festival in May - when Padstow turns into Cornwall's answer to Rio!
I first came to Padstow 30 years ago - and I have been a regular visitor ever since.
Things have changed quite a bit during those 30 years - Padstow has been "discovered".
Padstow used to be a sleepy fishing village with great scenery but not much else.
Nowadays Padstow is a genuine upmarket holiday resort.
Padstow restaurants (and not just those run by Mr Stein) are superb.
Padstow offers a variety of accommodation - from cozy bed and breakfasts, to first class hotels.
Fortunately, Padstow still has its village atmosphere - and some of its fishing fleet.
