Wadebridge

Modest town in north Cornwall straddling the River Camel, Wadebridge has a pedestrianised main shopping street, Molesworth Street, with cafés and restaurants in its compact centre. The 15th-century bridge that gave the town its name was contested during the English Civil War. A former railway line now forms the Camel Trail, a recreational route for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders. The Cornwall Folk Festival takes place here each August Bank Holiday, and the Royal Cornwall Show is held at the nearby showground each June.
