http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34138 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).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34138 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25265 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.

Another tip, avoid the hordes and head for the back streets - the Rick Stein Cafe (his 'third' restaurant) has his trademark great food, is very child-friendly, and doesn't take bookings. On the day we were there (a gloriously sunny August day) we had to wait for 20 minutes, which was a shorter than the queue for his fish and chips takeaway!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18010
