Places to see in ( Camelford - UK )
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.
B&B Ferme de Tayac presents Saint Amand de Coly
Saint-Amand-de-Coly is a lovely traditional Dordogne village, with the houses being fine examples of the local Perigord architecture, with their tiled rooves and yellow stone walls. The village is dominated by its large church. The church was constructed in the 12th century on the site of an earlier abbey chapel. It has been largely renovated and reconstructed during the 19th-20th centuries, and is an unusual combination of gothic and roman style churches.
St Petroc's church, Trevalga
This video is of the inside of the church of St Petroc at Trevalga, between Boscastle and Tintagel, Cornwall, UK. This lovely little church is in a lovely setting and I must admit that it is one of my most favorite churches in Cornwall. It looks towards the sea and is an old looking building. It is in the small hamlet of Trevalga which is never busy.

Days Out | Adventure One | Vintage Fair | Bodmin Jail | Padstow
This video is about Day Out to a Vintage Funfaire, Bodmin Prison with Fish n' Chips at Padstow
So we recently bought the Canon G7X and thought we would do a video to test it out.
We first of all went to the Dingles Vintage Funfare and on arrival thought it looked a little quiet, on further investigation the park was closed and was not due to open till March 18th (the next day) this was not on their site or on the Google search we did :(
Here is a link:
We then decided to take a drive to Bodmin and visit their historic Prison. This was amazing and something we would highly recommend if you get the chance to explore Cornwall.
Here is a link:
Finally we took another short drive along the north coast of Cornwall and had our lunch in the small fishing village of Padstow
A little review on the Canon G7X - We would highly recommend this camera, as you can see the transition between dark and light is amazing and the stability whilst walking is soon good. This is with us just holding the camera and not using any tripod's or grips (they are on order)
We hope you that you enjoyed our day :)
