The key landscape characteristic of this section of Cornwall National Landscape is defined by its distinct, gentle, undulating land sloping down into the broad Camel valley. The Camel Estuary is approximately one kilometre wide between Padstow and Rock and stretches inland for around seven kilometres where it narrows significantly at Wadebridge but remains tidal for several kilometres beyond.
Section 3 does not contain any specific monuments identified within the Monumental Improvement project. However, it encompasses landscapes that form part of the Cornwall National Landscape, offering vital context to nearby archaeological and historical sites. These natural features contribute to the region’s heritage and enrich its cultural narrative.
Scheduled Monuments in Section 03
The Monumental Improvement project will ensure that 38 Scheduled Monuments in the Cornwall National Landscape will be better identified, supported and enjoyed by a wide range of communities and visitors.
