For walkers and cyclists, the Camel Trail from Padstow via Wadebridge to Bodmin follows a disused railway line through beautiful North Cornwall.
Callington
(3 miles) is a small 15thC market town between the Tamar and Lynher
rivers, which once stood at the gateway to one of the richest copper
mining districts in the world.
Launceston (10 miles) is a quintessentially Cornish market town with its Georgian houses, intricately carved church, narrow streets and market square. The striking remains of a Norman castle are situated on a high hill in the centre of the town.
Tavistock (10 miles) straddles the fast flowing
river Tavy below the Western edge of Dartmoor. The town's Pannier
Market, held every day of the week except Sundays and Mondays, is one of the
finest examples in the South West. Also in the town is The
Wharf Arts and Entertainment Centre
