•  Camel Trail– This is a fantastic day out for all the family. You can hire bikes for all ages as well as bike seats and trailers for the little ones. Running from Bodmin to Padstow running 18 miles. If that’s too much, you’ll find Wadebridge in between and you can chose then either the idyllic countryside views of the Bodmin leg or follow the estuary down to Padstow. You don’t have to ride a bike - the trail is idea for walkers too; largely flat so both wheelchair and pushchair friendly.
