The Camel Trail The Gateway To Camelot Country C
amelford is an attractive and ancient town straddling the A39, and situated on the River Camel. Due to its geographical position & proximity to the coast it is a great
centre for touring, walking, fishing, swimming or surfing holidays, and exploring Bodmin Moor. The long building opposite the car park was once the town jail used for French prisoners of war during the Napoleonic Wars. One of the most prominent buildings is the Town Hall, with its weather-vane in the shape of a golden camel, once used as the County Court but is now the town library.
FORGET ME NOT HOLIDAYS have three self catering holiday cottages providing total relaxation at Trefrank Farm near St Clether, a few miles north west of Camelford and with striking distance of Launceston using the A395. This is a superb position with wonderful views of the Cornish countryside between North Cornwall’s spectacular beaches, coastline and the rugged beauty of Bodmin Moor.
JULIOTS WELL HOLIDAY PARK is situated in an ideal location surrounded by beautiful countryside. Just one mile from Camelford and four miles from Trebarwith beach. There is a wide choice of self-catering accommodation available. Choose from static caravans to luxury holiday lodges - some with hot tub. The Campsite is a spacious touring park with a wide range of modern facilities for tents, tourers and motorhomes. You’ll enjoy the relaxed and informal atmosphere in thirty three acres of sheltered parkland and shady woods offering a tranquil haven which makes it an ideal base for exploring the rest of Cornwall. Within easy reach are the picturesque harbour villages of Boscastle, Port Isaac, Padstow – Tintagel the legendary site of King Arthur’s Castle. The Eden Project on the South Cornish Coast is just 26 miles away and the charming fishing village of Fowey is 7 miles further on.
Three miles north of Camelford, taking the A39, is Davidstow Airfield home to the CORNWALL AT WAR MUSEUM. This is a tri service military museum that is different. Operated by passionate volunteers and it shows. Allow a couple of hours or so to make your way around the many exhibition buildings relating to the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force associated with Cornwall from 1914 to the present. Large exhibits like the Fairy Gannet, the WW1 88mm U-boat gun, 25 pounder field gun, to the more personal items.
Start your visit at the cinema for the introductory film then begin your journey of discovery, several of the buildings are from WW11 and were used by the officers at RAF Davidstow Moor. The opening of The Battle of the Somme in 1916 and 20,000 British dead, why it happened, animals at war past and present, pass through the Officers Mess as a function is in full swing, elaborate mess uniforms and beautiful dresses. Experience an air raid in the original shelter. Make yourself a drink at the DIY NAAFI, the list goes on.
Wadebridge is a bustling and thriving town offering a wide variety of things to see and do from riverside walks, indoor and outdoor leisure facilities and of course the nationally recognised Camel Trail putting Wadebridge at the heart of your holiday choice.
Take a walk around the town and you’ll find there’s a surprise around every corner. From the tiniest shops, many antique dealers, to the biggest store all offering that special Cornish hospitality. Take a stroll down Molesworth Street where you can relax as you browse or just sit and watch the world go by in the pedestrianised boulevard style area. If hustle and bustle is your choice try the Platt with its imposing Town Hall and easy access to car parks.
Wadebridge enjoys something of a mini microclimate and thousands of visitors are attracted to the town due to the Camel Trail and events such as the Royal Cornwall Show held in June, the Wadebridge Carnival usually held in late July, and Cornwall Folk Festival week in August.
In the nearby village of Egloshayle is the “The Earl of St. Vincent” public house named after a former Admiral who sailed with Lord Nelson. Lovingly restored by the present owners, it is now a most extraordinary pub filled with antiques & the most unusual clocks.
Fraddon near Newquay is an ideal place to stay to avoid the hustle & prices of the coastal resorts. At the side of the busy by-pass is the discount Kingsley Village Food and Craft Hall.
