Camelford is a town and civil parish in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, situated in the River Camel valley northwest of Bodmin Moor. The town is approximately ten miles north of Bodmin and is governed by Camelford Town Council. Lanteglos-by-Camelford is the ecclesiastical parish in which the town is situated (not to be confused with Lanteglos-by-Fowey).
Camelford is in the North Cornwall parliamentary constituency represented by Scott Mann MP since 2015. Until 1974, the town was the administrative headquarters of Camelford Rural District. The two main industrial enterprises in the area are the slate quarry at Delabole and the cheese factory at Davidstow and there is a small industrial estate at Highfield. The A39 road (dubbed 'Atlantic Highway') passes through the town centre: a bypass has been discussed for many years. Camelford Station, some distance from the town, closed in 1966; the site was subsequently used as a cycling museum.
Camelford position near the highest land in Cornwall makes the climate rather wet. On 8 June 1957, 203 millimetres (8.0 in) of rain fell at Camelford. Roughtor is the nearest of the hills of Bodmin Moor to the town and numerous prehistoric remains can be found nearby as well. The Town Hall was built in 1806, but is now used as a branch public library. By the riverside is Enfield Park; hamlets in the parish include Helstone, Tregoodwell, Valley Truckle, Hendra, Lanteglos, Slaughterbridge, Tramagenna, Treforda and Trevia.
Camelford is the home of the North Cornwall Museum and Gallery which contains paintings and objects of local historical interest. To the northwest at Slaughterbridge is an Arthurian Centre and at nearby Camelford Station is the Cycling Museum (temporarily closed since 2010). To the east are the hills of Roughtor and Brown Willy and to the south the old parish churches at Lanteglos and Advent.
The main road through Camelford is the A39 (Atlantic Highway) and there is a thrice-daily Western Greyhound bus service from Newquay to Exeter via Launceston that serves the town. A tentatively-planned bypass is on hold; traffic problems continue to crowd the town especially during summer weekends. From 1893 to 1966 the town had a station on the North Cornwall Railway. The nearest national railway station is Bodmin Parkway, 14 miles distant.

Rough Tor - Cornwall UK 4K
Rough Tor is approximately one mile northwest of Brown Willy, Cornwall's highest point, on Bodmin Moor. Its summit is 1313 ft (400m) above mean sea level, making it the second highest point in Cornwall. Both hills are in the civil parish of St Breward, and near the town of Camelford. The De Lank River rises nearby and flows between the two hills. Rough Tor and Little Rough Tor are twin summits of a prominent ridge of granite, though there are actually three tors at the site: Showery Tor, Little Rough Tor, and Rough Tor. Crowdy Reservoir and the Lowermoor Water Treatment Works are not far away from the hill.

RAF Davidstow Moor
RAF Davidstow Moor, RAF Davidstow or Davidstow Airfield is an abandoned World War II RAF base near the village of Davidstow in Cornwall.
The RAF base opened in 1942 and closed in 1945 but was used again from the early 1950's to 1954 when it was a Motor Car Circuit. There are three runways and a road which goes across it.
Some of the most famous planes that were stationed at RAF Davidstow Moor were the Lockenheed Hudson and the Bristol Beaufighter.
Around 200 soldiers died on Bodmin Moor in WWII and the airfield and control tower are said to be haunted by the ghosts of the soldiers who died. People have heard planes but look up and see none. People have also heard people talking and footsteps when no one is around, people have felt sad and like they can never come back and people have even been touched and pushed by people who aren't there.

iGhillie 5 - Brown Trout Fishing at Colliford Lake, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall HD
This popular Cornish brown trout fishery offers traditional fly fishing for wild and stocked trout with grown-on fish of over 2lb frequently caught (and occasional fish up to 5lb).
Traditional fly patterns (Sedge patterns, Soldier Palmer, Hoppers, and Bibios) work well. Fish the margins and walk the banks to cover as much water as possible. ‘Catch and release’ option available (barbless hooks to be used), otherwise up to 4 fish over 7″ may be taken in a day.
Fishing is from the bank only and wading is not advised. O.S Explorer 109 covers the fishery.
The season runs from 15 March to 12 October so can be a good alternative to the river beats should they be in spate or at times of low water. The later closing date also helps to extend the season a little. Westcountry Angling Passport Tokens can be used as part payment to purchase day tickets, currently £14/ day with concessionary and children’s tickets also available.
Car parking is free, day permits available from Jamaica Inn at Bolventor, 01566 86250 and Colliford Tavern PL14 6PZ, 01208 821 335.
These virtual fishing guides, know as iGhillie guides, provide some invaluable insider tips to some of the beats available on our Westcountry Angling Passport scheme. Dave Chapman, Angling Development Officer at the Westcountry Rivers Trust, says, “We have created 10 short film clips with each film following a ghillie around a beat. The ghillie will discuss how best to approach the beat in question, the best techniques to use and the main areas to concentrate on. The aim is to give prospective anglers the feel for a beat and some confidence in how to get the best of the fishing available.
