Map of the Camel Trail: Padstow to Bodmin route showing the full 13-mile ride route

Cornwall's much-loved rail trail along the Camel estuary: flat, traffic-free and beautiful. Fresh crab sandwich in Padstow obligatory.

The Camel Trail is Cornwall's most popular bike ride, a dead-flat old railway line along the estuary, perfect for families and hired e-bikes. The Padstow end gets busy by late morning; ride it early, then queue for the crab sandwich.
