Chippy opposite Lobster Hatchery. Fish and chips and you have to queue for ages.
The fish is good, but the chips are quite anonymous.

The Camel Trail has nothing whatsoever to do with the animals that you might find crossing the Sahara. It’s a cycle trail along a disused railway track running alongside the River Camel in Cornwall (Wikipedia says that the name comes from the Cornish language and means, “the crooked one.”)
It’s a good few years since we pedalled the five miles to Padstow along the trail from Wadebridge. However it was the highlight of our camping holiday in Cornwall. Our daughters were at the upper end of primary school and the flat ride beside the estuary provided a day without the constant cries of, “What shall we do next?” There was plenty to see along the way and Padstow itself provided lots of choice for refreshment (along with a ferry trip across the estuary and a short spell on the beach).

We hired our bikes from:

Padstow town and harbour. If you're down in Cornwall ... get yourself down to Padstow! It's a great little town full of little streets and shops to explore, and a great harbour in which to sit and watch the world go by. You'll not be disappointed.

There's also a great pizza restaurant overlooking the harbour. It's located in the first floor of a building above an ice-cream cafe.

Padstow is on the north Cornwall coast, across the estuary from Rock. For more info check out www.visitcornwall.com and search under Padstow.

From Wadebridge gentle route down hill through broad leaf woods following the route of the old branch line to Padstow(Betjeman described the intrusion of the old green liveried southern railway engines into 'cream and chocolate' territory, on this route)
The route levels out and the camel estuary opens to the riders right with glimpses of the open sea on the later parts of the route.
Before this, the famous,award winning, camel vineyards, may(on boxing day?)offer inspiration for wine purchases for the new year celebrations.
Padstow ,with it's beautiful views towards the beautiful beaches of Rock and harbour side pubs,is a welcoming prospect.
