Wadebridge

Wadebridge (Cornish: Ponsrys) is a market town in North Cornwall, with a population of 7,900 (2011). The town sits at the Camel Estuary, 5 miles (8 km) upstream from Padstow. It is host to the Royal Cornwall Agricultural show, each June.

Understand
For many years Wadebridge was a traffic congested town but in 1991 the Wadebridge bypass was opened together with the Egloshayle bypass causing the two settlements to regain much of their former charm. The main shopping street in Wadebridge (Molesworth Street) has become pedestrianised through an inner link road, allowing traffic free shopping.

By train
Other train operators include CrossCountry (which operates routes to the North of England and Scotland via Bristol and Birmingham) and Southwest Trains (who operate routes to London Waterloo).

Train services are frequent with roughly one train every half-hour in each direction during the week.

Wadebridge is joined to Bodmin by the A389. From Bodmin the A30 goes to Exeter where it connects with the M5. From Bodmin the A38 runs towards Plymouth.
