This cycle path along a disused railway line links Padstow with Wadebridge and Bodmin. There are a couple of cycle hire places near the trail start, who also hire trailers for small kids. There are beautiful views of the Camel Estuary between Padstow and Wadebridge, whilst the section to Bodmin is mostly within a wooded valley with a gentle climb. The section in Wadebridge itself is on-road - less confident cyclists may prefer to walk this bit. Cafés and pasty shops in Wadebridge or stop for a cream tea at the Camel Trail Tea Garden.
