This was the undoubted highlight of my trip to Cornwall last weekend The Camel Trail is an 18 mile cycle trail connecting Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow. It follows the route of the old London and South West railway line, which has been long decommissioned. There isn't really any evidence today of the train track which used to run along the route. At least, this means that the route is flat, which makes it a particularly family friendly activity My girlfriend and I rode the route from Wadebridge to Padstow, which follows the Camel Estuary on its way out to the sea. There are bike hire shops in Wadebridge and we rented ours from Camel Trail Cycle Hire, which offered free car parking and is conveniently located right across the road from the stat of the trail The flat route meant that it's a pleasant ride and semi-magically, it's not uphill in either direction! However, we did have a slight headwind to contend with in one direction last Sunday. There is shelter along the route from trees and tall hedges, which shielded us for part of the route We got great views of the river and the rolling hills. The river was interesting as it changed through our ride as the tide swept in. We saw some fishermen trying their luck for flounder in the river There are quite a few benches located at scenic points along the route. If nothing else, they give a clue to where to take photos At the end of the trail at Padstow, there are generous rows of bike racks to chain up your bike and wander into town to be a tourist Well recommended. The other half of the ride from Wadebridge to Bodmin promises a trip through deeply cut valleys and pretty villages, so maybe we'll head in the opposite direction next time read more

Just returned from an unforgettable ride along the Camel Trail, and I can't recommend Camel Trail Cycle Hire enough! From the moment we picked up our bikes, everything was smooth, friendly, and well organized. The staff were welcoming and helpful, making sure we had the right gear and tips for the route. The trail itself was stunning a peaceful escape into nature with breathtaking views around every bend. We spotted wildlife along the way, from birds flitting through the trees to curious squirrels and serene river scenes. It's the kind of ride that makes you slow down, breathe deeply, and just enjoy the moment. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just looking for a relaxed adventure, this is the perfect way to explore the beauty of Cornwall. The bikes were comfortable and well maintained, and the whole experience felt effortless and joyful read more
