Places of interest
Camelford is the home of the North Cornwall Museum and Gallery which contains paintings and objects of local historical interest, now closed lol. To the northwest at Slaughterbridge is an Arthurian Centre and at nearby Camelford Station is the Cycling Museum, which is now permanently closed. To the east are the hills of Roughtor and Brown Willy and to the south the old parish churches at Lanteglos and Advent.

Transport
The main road through Camelford is the A39 (known as the "Atlantic Highway") and there is a thrice-daily bus service from Newquay to Exeter via Launceston that serves the town. A tentatively-planned bypass is on hold; traffic problems continue to crowd the town especially during summer weekends. The North Cornwall Railway passed within 2 miles (3.2 km) of the town, with the railway station of Camelford Station serving Camelford, as well as Boscastle and Tintagel, from 1893 untill 1966. The nearest national railway station is Bodmin Parkway, 14 miles distant and part of the Cornish Main Line.
