There are beautiful views of the Camel Estuary between Padstow and Wadebridge, whilst the section to Bodmin is mostly within a wooded valley with a gentle climb. The section in Wadebridge itself is on-road - less confident cyclists may prefer to walk this bit. Cafés and pasty shops in Wadebridge or stop for a cream tea at the Camel Trail Tea Garden.
