Historic Helland Bridge
Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Hellandbridge, this beautiful early 15th-century stone bridge crosses the River Camel and is one of the area’s most characterful landmarks.
Grade II listed, its ancient arches and tranquil riverside setting offer a wonderful glimpse into Cornwall’s past. Just moments from The Forge and close to the Camel Trail, it’s a lovely spot for a gentle wander, photography or simply slowing down and enjoying the surroundings.
Explore the Camel Trail
The Camel Trail is one of Cornwall’s most popular walking and cycling routes, following a former railway line through beautiful countryside and alongside the Camel Estuary. The largely traffic-free trail connects Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow, offering an enjoyable day out for couples, families and cyclists of all abilities.
Along the way, you’ll pass peaceful woodland, open countryside and wonderful estuary views, with plenty of lovely places to stop for refreshments. Whether you explore a short section or make a day of it, the Camel Trail is a fantastic way to discover North Cornwall.
Camel Valley Vineyard
Nestled in the beautiful Cornish countryside near Bodmin, Camel Valley Vineyard is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a taste of Cornwall. Visitors can sample locally produced wines while taking in peaceful views across the vines and surrounding Camel Valley.
Tours and tasting experiences are available at selected times, offering an interesting insight into how the vineyard’s wines are produced. It’s a wonderful addition to a day exploring the Camel Trail and the surrounding countryside.

Pentire Costal Walk
The Pentire coastal walk is one of North Cornwall’s most rewarding routes, with sweeping sea views, dramatic cliffs and beautiful open countryside. The trail takes you around Pentire Point towards The Rumps, with wonderful views across to Polzeath, the Camel Estuary and out towards Lundy Island on a clear day.
It’s a peaceful place to enjoy Cornwall’s rugged coastline, spot seabirds and take in the changing colours of the landscape. With some uneven and steep sections, sturdy footwear is recommended—but the views are well worth the effort.
