Blaze the Camel Trail


Magnificent Moors The Trail skirts Bodmin Moor, a superb granite landscape with typical features such as tors, bogs, commons and streams. Easily accessed, are attractive villages like Blisland, which has a bucolic charm epitomised by the beautiful church near the village green. St. Breward grew from the granite quarrying industry which left a legacy of solidly built cottages and small, granite bounded fields.


Bodmin


was founded in 530 AD by St Petroc and St Guron. The town’s name comes from ‘Bod Meneghi’ meaning ‘dwelling of the monks’. Bodmin was an administrative centre, and the County Assize Courts now house the T.I.C., visitor centre, ‘Murder on the Moor’, a re-creation of an infamous C19th murder trial, and Court no. 2 theatre space. Bodmin has a wide range of attractions including a steam railway, old Gaol and town museum. Lanhydrock House (N.T.) and the famous Eden Project can be reached by linking to the Cornish Way Cycle Route.


Wonderful Woods From Wadebridge to Poley's Bridge, the route passes through some magnificent woodland. Much is looked after by the Forestry Commission, including mixed woodland managed on a long term basis. Other woods contain native trees such as oak, ash and beech with an understory of hazel, holly or spindle, also seen in the luxurious hedgerows on each side of the Trail. Access into some of the woods is allowed.
