The Neighborhood:
The ancient town of Camelford makes an ideal touring centre, being only a few miles from the surfing beaches of North Cornwall and the natural beauty and ancient sites of Bodmin Moor. The town, historically a vital crossing point on the River Camel, was formerly an important market town due to its position on the main route into Cornwall. The patronage of local MPs is reflected in some of the fine old buildings that line the main street.

The public park with children's play area is just across the river. There is a long walk alongside the river which is a great place to enjoy some homemade pasties from the local bakery. The town is often reputed to be the location for heroic King Arthur’s Court of Camelot although the name Camel is more likely a corruption from old Cornish meaning winding. However, legend has it that King Arthur met his death at the hands of his nephew Mordred in a battle fought at the nearby village of Slaughterbridge where today you can find ‘Arthur’s Tomb’ marked by an inscribed stone that dates back 1,500 years.

If you want to go higher, Brown Willy, (In Cornish, Bron Wennyly, meaning swallows' hill) is 1375 feet high and is the highest point in Cornwall.
