Pedal boat hire, what a great thing to do on a sunny day

Tamar lakes are a scenic place to visit with a gravel track that circulates around it, it does however have a couple off places that can get boggy after heavy rain!

On the SW Coast Path heading south, the last opportunity to stop before Crackington Haven.

Nice place to promenade, eat and relax awhile

Bude Canal was dug to provide a means to transport sand from the sea inland. The sand is rich in lime and made a great fertiliser for the acidic farmland which was otherwise very unproductive. The initial idea for the canal was in 1774 but it wasn't until 1825 that the canal was actually opened. This two mile stretch from Bude to Helebridge is wide enough for a barge. The canal continues for another 33 miles on a much narrower scale. In this later section the boats were pulled by horses, unusual in the fact that the boats were on wheels. In 1901, the canal was used for the last time for its intended purpose, following the rise of railway transportation. The first two miles were restored in 2009 in a £5 million project.
