The Camel Trail, being a surfaced bed of a railway, makes for easy walking but parts of it can be a bit dull. Therefore we've created some circular walks which include some of the more interesting sections and have some footpaths, tracks and lanes for a bit of variety.
At the start of the Camel Trail the walk from Poley's Bridge to Blisland follows the Trail from Poley's Bridge past the old china clay driers to Wenfordbridge.
Towards Bodmin, the walk from Dunmere to Penhargard follows the Camel Trail through Dunmere Woods along the River Camel, before climbing to Penhargard where a fort once defended the river crossing. Also going downriver from Dunmere we have a walk from Dunmere to Grogley which returns on the Camel Trail past the Camel Valley Vineyard and Boscarne Junction where the steam trains run from Bodmin General station.
At Wadebridge the walk upriver from Wadebridge to Polbrock returns along the Camel Trail alongside the River Camel. This section is particularly rich in spring flowers including bluebells and wild garlic and crosses the Treraven Marshes nature reserve. The walk downriver from Wadebridge to St Breock sets out along the Camel Trail alongside the Amble Marshes and follows it to the bird hide at Tregunna before heading across the fields to St Breock.
Finally the walk at Little Petherick Creek follows the last stretch of the Camel Trail across the bridge across the creek to Padstow, with nice views of the Camel Estuary.
