Wadebridge is home to around 8,000 people (2021 census), a Cornish town on the River Camel that takes its very name from the crossing that replaced an old ford.
A Bridge Said to Be Founded on Wool
Wadebridge takes its name from a ford across the River Camel that was replaced, around 1468–70, by a stone bridge funded by the local vicar, Thomas Lovibond. Local legend holds that its piers were founded on packs of wool laid on the riverbed to give the foundations a firmer base — a story that isn't proven but has stuck for centuries. The bridge still carries the town's name today.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
