The Old Bridge, Wadebridge
It was built in 1468 by Thomas Lovibond, a vicar of Egloshayle with profits made from the local wool trade. Legend claims that the bridge was built on sacks of the wool to prevent it from sinking into the estuary bed. It was originally 320ft long, 9ft wide and had 17 arches but was later widened to cope with the increasing traffic. For some unknown reason, only 14 of the arches remain.

The site of Wadebridge railway station
This is the site of Wadebridge railway station, first opened in 1834. The canopied station building (middle distance), which dates from 1899 when the connecting line from Exeter (and ultimately London Waterloo) opened, remains and is now used as the John Betjeman Centre. The old goods shed also survives as an arts centre. The road runs over the site of a second platform and the houses on the right cover the site of the old engine shed.

Anneka's Bridge
This suspension footbridge was built across the river Camel by the "Challenge Anneka" tv programme in 1991. It provides the community of Egloshayle with a shorter route of getting into Wadebridge centre, rather than having to walk down to the Old Bridge. The bridge was designed and built by television celebrity Anneka Rice, after suggestions made by the townspeople that there wasn't enough means of getting into the town centre.

Gonvena Hill, Wadebridge
Scarcely a building in sight as the road climbs out of the Camel valley. The houses barely glimpsed above the tree are on Gonvena.
