Camelford is a charming town located in the heart of North Cornwall, England. It's nestled in a picturesque valley on the banks of the River Camel and is known for its rich history, natural beauty, and proximity to popular tourist attractions. Here are some key details and points of interest about Camelford:
Camelford is situated approximately 10 miles inland from the North Cornish coast and the dramatic cliffs of the Atlantic Ocean. It's close to the A39 and A30, making it an excellent base for exploring the surrounding countryside and coastline. The town is about 20 miles west of Bodmin and 25 miles north of the famous Eden Project.
The town has a long and interesting history dating back to pre-Roman times. It was once an important market town and was mentioned in the Domesday Book. The name Camelford is derived from the river it straddles and the ancient Cornish word for "junction" or "crossing."
Camelford Town Hall is an historic building that dates back to the 18th century and is now used as a community center.
The area around Camelford is ideal for walkers, with access to Bodmin Moor, the North Cornwall coast, and various scenic trails, including the Camel Trail, a 17.5-mile multi-use path that follows a disused railway line from Padstow to Bodmin.
Water Sports: The nearby coastal areas and rivers offer opportunities for surfing, kayaking, fishing, and other water sports.
The town has a good range of shops, pubs, and cafes, as well as a small supermarket and a medical center. It also has a post office, library, and several churches.
Throughout the year, Camelford hosts various events such as the Camelford Show, a traditional agricultural show, and the annual Christmas lights switch-on.
Nearby Attractions:
There are various accommodation options available in and around Camelford, including hotels, bed and breakfasts, self-catering cottages, and campsites, catering to different preferences and budgets.
The town has regular bus services connecting it to other parts of Cornwall, including Wadebridge, Bodmin, and Newquay. The nearest train station is at Bodmin Parkway, with connections to major cities such as Plymouth and Penzance.
The town has a variety of eateries, including traditional Cornish pubs serving local ales and hearty food. Don't miss the chance to try a proper Cornish pasty and cream tea during your visit. There's a vibrant art scene in North Cornwall, and Camelford is home to galleries and studios showcasing local talent.
