Great service at very short notice.
Parking was easy at Piggy Lane car park near LIDL. The bikes were already waiting for us to pick up when we arrived slightly ahead of our allotted pick-up time. The staff were all very friendly, efficient and helpful and we were on our way in no time at all. The bikes were well serviced and comfortable and came with locks, lightweight waterproof panniers and cycle helmet. Really can't fault the service. They were very competitively priced and I would highly recommend Bridge Bike Hire Sandra Griffiths, Google

The Camel Trail is an 18-mile cycling paradise in North Cornwall, available for cyclists, horse riders and walkers, the trail runs from Wenfordbridge to Padstow with Wadebridge being the perfect starting point to explore either one way or the other or both! Once an old railway track, it has been transformed into a scenic, mostly traffic-free route, the trial is easy to cycle so it’s perfect for riders of all levels.
