Historically one of the most significant features of Wadebridge is the medieval 320ft long arched road bridge known locally as the ‘Bridge on Wool’, which was built by the Revd.

Loveybond in 1468. It is reputed that it was constructed on wool sacks but it seems more likely that this refers to the finance for the bridge coming from wealthy wool merchants and sheep farmers.

The two principle churches are not in Wadebridge itself but at nearby St. Breock and Egloshayle, the latter meaning ‘estuary church’ and with a beautiful 80ft spire.

The Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway line was one of the first lines to carry steam trains in Cornwall when it opened in 1834. Today the old railway route is known as the Camel trail and is well-liked by walkers and cyclists, making it the 3rd most popular attraction in Cornwall.
