On the banks of the River Camel in the heart of North Cornwall, Wadebridge is a busy hub of activity. The old market town is filled with independent shops, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets, and boasts a busy calendar of events, from the weekly local produce market to Cornwall Folk Festival and the Royal Cornwall Show.
The best thing about holidays in Wadebridge is how easy it is to reach North Cornwall’s beautiful sandy beaches and old fishing villages. Within a short drive you can reach Polzeath, famous for its surf, the exclusive seaside village of Rock - home of the rich and famous, picturesque Port Isaac and its white-washed fisherman’s cottages, the mystical ruins of Tintagel Castle and stunning Bodmin Moor. You’ll be spoilt for choice for days at the beach, with Daymer Bay, Constantine, Trebarwith Strand and many more sandy bays and tiny coves, all within 10 miles.
North Cornwall is fast becoming a foodie hotspot, so you could spend every day of your holiday in Wadebridge trying somewhere new. Head to Padstow for Rick Stein’s famous fish and chips or fine dining at The Seafood Restaurant, try Michelin star Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen in Port Isaac, run by celebrity chef Nathan Outlaw, or treat yourself at Paul Ainsworth @ No6.
But Wadebridge’s most famous feature is the Camel Trail, which winds its way along the edge of the Camel Estuary for 18 miles, from Padstow all the way to Bodmin Moor. No holiday in Wadebridge is complete without cycling or setting off on foot along this famous trail. It’s traffic-free, surfaced and relatively level the whole way, so it’s great from families. Dog-walkers, and all ages and abilities. We recommend hiring bikes in Wadebridge and setting off to Padstow where you’ll be treated with stunning coastal views and plenty of places to pick up a pasty as a reward when you arrive.
Discover beautiful North Cornwall and all it has to offer when you book a holiday in Wadebridge.

St Breock Downs Monolith
(2 miles)
(1)
An English Heritage site, St Breock Downs Monolith is a massive stone that stands near the summit of the St Breock Downs, offering beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and across to the sea. It is the largest and heaviest monolith in Cornwall, and dates back to the late Neolithic/mid-Bronze Age (around 2500–1500 BC). You can visit any time in reasonable daylight hours and it’s free of charge, however there aren’t any facilities or coffee shops when you’re there, so it’s not one to stay at all day.
The Monolith is one huge stone, not the quoit pictured in this photograph.

Camel Trail
(2 miles)
(2)
Perfect for cycling, the Camel Trail is an 18-mile largely traffic free, surfaced and virtually level, multi-use trail that you can use to explore the Cornish countryside. The track brings back to life a disused railway line that runs between Wenfordbridge, Bodmin and Padstow. It's ideal for bicycles, wheelchair users, horse riders and walkers, and is broken down into three main sections set up to around six miles each, which is probably more manageable than the total 18 miles, on an average day at least! It's free to use, bike hire is available at Padstow, Wadebridge, Bodmin and Wendfordbridge and toilets are in situ along the trail and in Padstow town centre.
Flat 6 miles walk from Wadebridge to Padstow (or Padstein as we called it!). Plenty to look at but no facilities, there was a closed cafe 2 miles short of Padstow. Lots of cyclists so listen out for them.

Great cycle trail for the whole family.

Rock Beach
(5 miles)
(1)
Rock beach is a beautiful long white sand beach located on the mouth of the Camel Estuary. This Area of Outstanding natural beauty is a haven for wading birds and the prefect spot for a swim in the clear blue waters or a picnic admiring the fantastic views. The beach is backed by sand dunes, please try to avoid walking on the dunes and keep to the footpaths where provided as there has been a huge amount of erosion in recent years. Dogs are welcome on the beach all year round and there is easy access to shops and all facilities including public toilets. Parking can be found in the car park just behind and access is via a ferry slipway or steps.
What a fabulous beach, dog friendly all year, when the tide is out the beach is huge, our dogs had a brilliant time. The car park is reasonable priced and toilets were clean.

Daymer Bay
(6 miles)
(1)
Located on the East side of the River Camel. Sand and dunes. Dog friendly.
Let's tackle the two downsides first. The narrow single track lane descending to the car park ican be challenging at busy times. The other one - the sheltered position means no waves for boarding. Great sandy beach, safe for kids with a good size car park and easy access down to the sands. Great views over the Doom Bar. Easy to walk down to Rock Beach and St Enodoc's church is worth a visit.
July 2022
Hawkers Cove Beach
(6 miles)
Situated at the mouth of the Camel estuary near Padstow lies Hawkers Cove Beach. This wide expanse of white sand beach stretches almost 1.5 miles. Despite its beautiful location and crystal clear waters it’s a fairly uncrowded beach, this is largely due to the limited parking and fairly convoluted access. You can walk from the beach along the coast path to Padstow and take in the breath taking views of the Camel Estuary. There is also a beautiful Tea Garden just up from the beach serving Cream Teas and light bites in the summer months. There is a car park a few minutes’ walk away, just follow signs for Hawkers Cove from the B3276.
Polzeath Beach
(6 miles)
(2)
Visit one of Cornwall’s most famous surfing hubs. Polzeath Beach near Wadebridge is the perfect spot for all you wet-suited surfers, whether novice or pro. Take a lesson in surfing or catch some waves on a body board before heading to browse the local shops and visit the cafes and restaurants along the sea front. For those walkers amongst you, enjoy an easy coastal walk to nearby Daymer Bay and Rock found on the mouth of the Camel Estuary. Parking is plentiful and dogs are welcome on the beach except between Easter Sunday and 30 September when a seasonal dog ban is in place.
Lovely sandy beach that is patrolled by life guards. Though busy there are several large car parks and plenty of room on the beach for all even when the tide is in. Lots of eateries and a surf school.
