Originally called Wade, it was an unsafe fording point throughout the river until a bridge was constructed right here in the 15th century, after which the name transformed to its existing kind. The bridge was tactically vital throughout the English Civil War, as well as Oliver Cromwell went there to take it. Ever since, it has actually been expanded twice and also refurbished in 1991. Wadebridge was offered by a train station in between 1834 as well as 1967; part of the line now develops the Camel Trail, a leisure course for pedestrians, cyclists and also horse riders. The community made use of to be a road web traffic bottleneck on the A39 road up until it was bypassed in 1991, and the major purchasing road, Molesworth Street, is now pedestrianised. The town has a senior high school where a number of remarkable sports-people were informed. The Royal Cornwall Program is a three-day farming program held at the nearby Royal Cornwall Showground every June, and the 5-day Cornwall Folk Festival happens around the August Bank Holiday.
