Come and immerse yourself in nature on our forty-acre private estate, nestled in the picturesque Camel Valley in North Cornwall. Butterwell Farm is a peaceful and idyllic location on the Camel Trail and Camel River perfectly situated between Cornwall’s North & South coasts. With our own private stretch of the River Camel, Butterwell offers a quiet oasis of abundant rare wildlife with direct access to the Camel Trail. The Camel Valley is regarded by many as one of the most unspoilt valleys in Cornwall.
Butterwell Farm is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and classified as a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI). Enjoy woodland walks, wildlife ponds and exceptional game fishing at your front door. Butterwell is the perfect base for exploring the whole of Cornwall with a host of nearby sandy beaches and Cornwall’s famous and rugged Coastal Path and Bodmin Moor – our location is a walker’s paradise. Bring your bicycles or hire them locally and roam along the adjacent famous Camel Trail (Wadebridge 4 miles and Padstow 9 miles) or explore the nearby extensive off-road forestry trails. Just a short walk across the river is the famous Camel Valley Vineyards with their award winning and world famous English wine, offering tours and tastings.
