Code of Conduct For The Camel Trail
When using The Camel Trail, it is important that you follow the code of conduct. Not just for the safety of users, The Camel Valley is an important habitat for many species too and therefore it needs our help to manage it correctly and allow it to thrive. Let’s all enjoy it together by keeping to these simple guidelines.
Walkers have right of way
The Trail has many different users including older people & people with mobility problems who find the level surface suitable for their use. Give way to prams, buggies and wheelchairs!
Please keep your dogs under close control
Dogs that leave the Trail can cause damage to adjoining private land, livestock, the river & its wildlife.
Cyclists, please keep your speed down
High speed makes it harder to avoid other users & thus causes accidents. Try to warn people of your approach.
Horse riders, please keep to a walking pace
No trotting, cantering or galloping! This reduces damage to the surface & the likelihood of an accident involving other users. Remember that there are young children on the trail. Please note: Horses are not allowed on the North Cornwall District Councils section from Nanstallon to Poley’s Bridge!
Please use the Trail safely
Cyclists are advised to always wear a safety helmet and to carry a puncture repair kit. Cycling with your dog on or off a lead is very dangerous.
Please clean up after your dog and do not drop litter
Do not drop litter, or light fires. Litter is unsightly, takes years to biodegrade and can be a health hazard. Dog Faeces are a particular nuisance. Dog owners, please take a bag with you and use the dog waste bins provided!
Please respect the privacy of adjoining properties & landowners
There is no public access to any adjoining land, or to the river, except where stated on signed paths.
Please be considerate to all other users of the Trail
Inconsiderate behaviour whilst using the Trail can spoil other people’s enjoyment of it.
