The walk starts by following the Camel Trail towards Padstow to the bird hide overlooking the Amble salt marshes, passing a number of lookout points with benches. The route then crosses the top of the Trevanson and Tregunna creeks and crosses fields to Trevanson and St Breock. The walk descends the valley to reach St Breock church and follows the lane along the stream to join the Polmorla river. The return route to Wadebridge is through the woods of the Polmorla valley, passing through Coronation Park.

Highlights

  • Wading birds along the Camel and Amble marshes
  • Vibrant wildflowers along the lanes, tracks and paths in spring and early summer
  • Ornate mediaeval carvings in St Breock church
  • Ancient wooded valleys of St Breock and Polmorla with snowdrops in spring

Considerations

  • The path from direction 6 can get overgrown in summer. A stick/pole to clear any vegetation is recommended.
