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.

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.
July 2023
Great cycle trail for the whole family.

Rock Beach
(4 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.
September 2021
Daymer Bay
(4 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
Polzeath Beach
(5 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.
June 2022
One of the few beaches that isn’t dog friendly so we didn’t stop, but it looked nice from the car park
September 2021
Hawkers Cove Beach
(5 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.
Port Quin
(5 miles)
(1)
A rocky beach in a narrow, sheltered cove, Port Quin Beach is close to Port Isaac, and is only accessible at low tide. Its rugged landscape is beautiful to see, but its location means that it’s largely popular with seasoned walkers and those looking to go snorkeling and kayaking. Unspoiled and peaceful, it reveals a treasure trove of rock pools when the tide is out, and the nearby village is largely deserted, having once had thriving fishing and mining industries. Today both the cove and the village are owned by the National Trust and there is a car park courtesy of them in Port Quin. Dogs are banned between Easter and October, and there aren’t any facilities nearby – it’s all about enjoying the peace and quiet.
Could park nearby and enjoyed a cream tea from the 'Salt Pig' van in the carpark. Paddled here and ran the dog one evening, and walked a bit more of the coast path.

August 2022
Very comfortable cottage with all we need. Perfect location for exploring our favourite place - Cornwall, thank you.
June 2022
This is our second holiday in the cottage in 7 months and we have already booked again for next summer! It's a lovely cottage, very clean, tidy and comfortable and our sort of homely. The kitchen is really well equipped. The cottage is well located for visiting all parts of Cornwall (we don't mind driving). Locally, the walk between Harlyn Bay and Trevone is amazing, with refreshments at both ends. Also, the Sunday carvery at the Trevisker Garden Centre, on the road into Padstow, is excellent. If you don't mind driving, a trip to the Lizard Point and the Polpeor cafe, at the most southerly point, is well worth the visit.
