    Camel Trail: Padstow to Bodmin

    The Camel Trail: Padstow to Bodmin is an amazing long distance walking route in Cornwall that will allow you to experience the natural beauty of one of the region’s waterways. While out walking the trail, you will make your way along the banks of the Camel Estuary, following the water’s edge as it narrows into the River Camel and snakes across the countryside to reach the town of Bodmin. Walkers should take note that this is a one-way route, so you will need to either retrace your steps or arrange some form of transit for the return portion.
