River Camel
About River Camel
The River Camel is a river in Cornwall, England. It rises on the edge of Bodmin Moor and with its tributaries its catchment area covers much of North Cornwall. The river flows into the eastern Celtic Sea between Stepper Point and Pentire Point, having covered about 30 miles (50 km), making it the second longest river wholly in Cornwall. The river is tidal upstream to Egloshayle and is popular for sailing, birdwatching and fishing. The name Camel comes from the Cornish language for 'the crooked one', a reference to its winding course. Historically the river was divided into three named stretches. Heyl was the name for the estuary up to Egloshayle, the River Allen was the stretch between Egloshayle and Trecarne, whilst the Camel was reserved for the stretch of river between its source and Trecarne.
On the show
The River Otter is now full of beavers. Confusingly, very confusing, pisses off the otters in the River Otter. Other authors in the River Otter. There are authors in the River Otter. I did read that someone was saying the Camel River is another good place to introduce them, which I imagine will piss off the camel. There are hundreds of them out there now. Is that really? In the UK?
