Glamping near Camelford in Cornwall

Wigwam® Holidays Great Tregath is about a mile from the village of Camelford, thought to be one of the locations of King Arthur’s Camelot.

The river Camel runs through the village, an important crossing point historically. The village includes pubs, takeaways and a golf course.

To understand the fantastic history and heritage of the area, The Camel Trail is well worth following.

The trail includes 18 miles of mainly traffic free, virtually flat terrain following a disused railway line between Wendforbridge and Padstow.

The trail can be tackled in smaller chunks and can be reached by car, bike or public transport.

As well as being a picturesque way to explore the Cornish countryside, The Camel Trail also runs through a Site of Scientific Interest and Special Area of Conservation. Bats, otters, dormice, kingfishers and marsh orchids can be seen if you keep your eyes open! Find out more here: http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/cameltrail
