Camelford is a pretty small town in north Cornwall, England set along the River Camel near to Bodmin Moor, Boscastle and Tintagel. This is a great base if you are looking to explore this part of the north coast of Cornwall and learn all about King Arthur or enjoy the South West Coastal path.
The town lies on the main A39 which goes all the way from Bideford in North Devon down to near Newquay and that makes it ideal for those looking to explore the area. If you want to visit Port Isaac where Doc Martin is filmed or visit Tintagel Castle, this is a great base. There are several takeaways and good pubs in Camelford and the surrounding villages, you can get away from the tourists as well, especially if you are going inland as this is one of the quieter and more unspoilt parts of Cornwall.
There are numerous pretty Cornwall holiday cottages here to rent out, from traditional farm houses and a good selection of modern holiday homes in Camelford. If you are struggling to find something suitable, Wadebridge is the nearest large town and there are several Wadebridge holiday parks with caravans and lodges to help you. Camelford is ideal for families and couples looking to really escape and get into the heart of North Cornwall.
