Discover the Borough Arms

A welcoming & cosy pub nestled upon the Camel Trail

The Borough Arms dates back to the 1850s when it was built to service trains transporting china clay from the moor to the Padstow’s bustling port. Our traditional pub lies within easy reach of Bodmin and Wadebridge, while conveniently sitting directly on the Camel Trail. Step into a cosy interior with roaring fires and that local community spirit, and indulge in our contemporary menu that features the best of local produce or perhaps join us for our beloved Sunday carvery.
