Popular among cyclists (Wadebridge sits right on the Camel Trail), Wadebridge also draws many for its unique shops and cafes. The River Camel sweeps majestically through Wadebridge; along its banks, twitchers' can be seen excitedly spotting any number of wading bird varieties, including herons.
Perfect surf, a broad sandy beach and seafood cafes serving fresh local fish – Polzeath is the kind of Cornish seaside village that children dream of. Hire a board and wetsuit and head for the waves, mooch along the cliffpaths and enjoy the rugged north Cornish coastline, shop in the boutique surf stores that line the single street or simply lay out your towel and catch some sun – Polzeath was made for relaxation.
This sweet harbour village is a near neighbour of the better-known Port Isaac; it has just as much classic Cornish character yet remains relatively free of crowds in the summer. At low tide a small sandy beach is revealed along with rockpools that trap countless crabs, shrimps and tiny fish, providing hours of entertainment for children. Away from the beach, the whitewashed Port Gaverne Hotel tempts visitors with local seafood cooked to perfection.
