Little Petherick Creek Bridge and View of Padstow

Highlight • Cycleway

An Iron Bridge spans the gap over Little Petherick Creek and gives a glimpse into the Camel Trail's past as a railway line.

The railway opened in 1899 with this bridge being the final piece of the puzzle connecting Wadebridge and Padstow. The trail over the bridge has been updated to accommodate cyclists and walkers from its original narrow wooden path.

Little Petherick Creek Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This historic bridge spans the Little Petherick Creek. It's an old stone structure with a traditional Cornish design, and the views as you cross it toward Padstow and over the water toward Brea Beach and Rock are spectacular.

View of the Camel Estuary from the Camel Trail

Highlight • Viewpoint

This section of the Camel Trail between Wadebridge and Padstow is 5.5 miles long and can be ridden in either direction. The views of the Camel Estuary are fantastic. It is perfect for families and those new to mtbing.

The trail follows a disused railway line and in its entirety is 17 miles long from Padstow to Wenfordbridge. It is a shared use path with walkers, cyclists and horse riders and is largely flat with a hard packed surface.

Camel River Cycling Route

Highlight • Cycleway

For example from Wadebridge you can do a nice bike tour along the Camel River. In Waderidge, as well as Padstow there are several bike rental companies. You can ski along the river for almost 18km without any significant height difference. Gorgeous area, - in the summer with some options also SUP, and other water sports practicing as well as swimming.
