Wadebridge was originally a market town and later a foundry town. Its fifteenth century bridge across the River camel is worth a visit. Both this town and nearby Camelford are good centres from which to explore the surrounding hills and moors.
Further along the river, close to its estuary, stands the little fifteenth church of St Enodoc. As the building was almost buried in the sand for years, it was often necessary to enter through the roof for services! Asa result of this, the church was once known locally as Sinking Neddy However, the sand was cleared away long ago and St Enodoc is most famous these days as the last resting place of the former poet laureate, Sir John Betjeman.
Wadebridge is the site of the Royal Cornwall Show each June. It is within easy reach of the better known resort of Padstow.
