The Camel Trail - Wadebridge to Padstow

A short section of The Camel Trail route that follows the former North Cornwall Railway trackbed. This doubles up as both a cyclepath and a walkway making it suitable to virtually anyone of average fitness. The scenery is glorious as the track winds its way along the Camel estuary.

South West Coast Path - Bude to Boscastle

View from Buckator

An 16 mile walk along the South West Coast Path between Bude and Boscastle

A challenging walk along a spectacular part of the South West Coast Path. Although this can be achieved in a single day there is the village of Crackington haven near to the half way mark which allows one to cut the walk into two smaller options. Waterfalls to see, steep valleys to cross and some amazing views of the coastline.
