Wadebridge was originally a market town.
It has an amazing 15th century bridge with 17 arches over the River Camel, which is definitely worth a visit. It is said the bridge was built on wool as this was how the wealthy landowners in the area made their money.
From the day the bridge was built the town became known as Wadebridge.
Both Wadebridge and nearby Camelford are both centrally located in order to explore the nearby hills and moors.
Wadebridge is an excellent place from which to discover the Camel Trail, a walk and cycle tract following the old railway route from Bodmin to Padstow.
There is wonderful scenery and plenty of wildlife to see on this serene trail, and bikes can be hired from the start.
From Padstow you could take a boat trip across the Camel Estuary to Rock, and lounge on the beautiful beach that stretches all the way around to Daymer Bay. The National Lobster Hatchery neighbours Rick Steins empire in Padstow.
The Royal Cornwall Show ground at Wadebridge hosts the county show every June, come rain or shine, opened each year by a member of the Royal Family. Cornish Farmers have had to diversify in recent years and show has the show, but they have kept their traditional roots with steam engines being shown next to the shiny new high-tech tractors. It's not every day you get to see formation JCB digger dancing in the main ring. The National Trust have three properties nearby, Lanhydrock House, Trerice and Carnewas and Bedruthan Steps.
