11/04/25 - On the Wadebridge Camel Trail for the Swan Inn

Trading The Coast for Shaded Woodland Paths

Having not had enough of entire families on two wheels, we decide to tackle the Camel Path away from Padstow. Surely Bodmin won't be as popular as Padstow and there will be less traffic?

A very pleasant, simple walk. Clear enough on the Camel Trail to let the dogs off the lead, and in Wolf's case, play in the Camel. At Polbrock Bridge, cross over and head back through Bishops Woods. A change from the week's coastal walking. Would you believe that this early in April, we need the woodland shade?

Then up to Burlawn and down along lanes/agricultural tracks back to civilisation. An Adventure Lab Cache showing us the history of the town - train station, museum, town hall and finishing on the 15th Century and 17 arched bridge.

Mrs M wants to maximise her lunch experience, so takes advantage of local knowledge by texting friends who have lived here. They say the Swan Hotel. 

Good food at reasonable prices and a decent pint of Proper Job.
