Luxury self-catering accommodation in Wadebridge
Nestled on the Camel Estuary, five miles upstream from Padstow, Wadebridge's enviable location in North Cornwall makes it the perfect springboard for coastal rambles, boutique shopping and cycling on the flat past some of the county's prettiest scenery.
An old market town still thriving with independents, Wadebridge has been voted one of the best places to live in Britain and it's easy to see why. The gateway to the Camel Trail, the town sits on the edge of an area of outstanding natural beauty; wild moorland in one direction and iconic surfing beaches in the other. For secret swims and idyllic SUP sessions in turquoise coves, it has to be the coastline between Port Isaac and Trebarwith Strand, but no visit to Wadebridge is complete without heading out to the chic north coast beach resorts of Rock, Polzeath and Padstow.
In summer, their deep caves and shallow rockpools tempt little hands and feet to explore while, all around, inns and fish restaurants spill out onto the streets with laughing punters. Come winter, said inns roar with sea shanties and cosy fires, while storms lash against the windows. In Wadebridge though, the holiday crowds soon disappear, a north Cornwall haven that's yours for the taking.
