Wadebridge is situated on both sides of the Camel River, 5 miles upstream from Padstow.
It was formerly known as Wade until the bridge across the Camel river was completed in 1468 when the place name became Wadebridge.
Wadebridge is the home of the annual Royal Cornwall Show and is midway along the route of the Camel Trail - a cycle trail that goes all the way from Padstow to Bodmin.
Sea Fishing in Wadebridge
Wadebridge is tidal and therefore good for flatfish. The best time to fish is an hour before and an hour after high tide.
