Camel Trail, hiking and cycling trail in Cornwall, England
Camel Trail is a rail trail that has been converted into a cycling and walking path in Cornwall. It runs along the Camel River valley and connects several towns and villages across about 17 miles (27 kilometers).
The railway line was built in the 1800s to transport goods and passengers through the valley. It was closed in the 1960s, and the route was eventually reopened as a public path for recreation.
The path is flat and well-maintained, making it accessible for cyclists and walkers of all abilities. There are several entry points and parking areas distributed along the route.
The trail passes through several Victorian-era viaducts and bridges that are still standing. Many walkers and cyclists pause at these structures to enjoy views over the river and surrounding landscape.
