Enjoy the Camel Trail

The Camel Trail is one of Cornwall's most popular walking and cycling routes and is particularly well suited to people looking for gentle, accessible exercise. The largely flat, traffic-free path follows the route of a former railway line and offers beautiful countryside views.
