Camelford (Cornish: Ryskammel) is a town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The town lies on the River Camel, and a few miles north-west of the highest part of Bodmin Moor. It is the home of the North Cornwall Museum and Gallery. The only large industrial enterprise in the area is the slate quarry at Delabole. Camelford Station was some distance from the town and closed in 1966: on the site is now the British Cycling Museum. It is part of the North Cornwall parliamentary constituency, and also of North Cornwall District: the Council has a branch office in the town. Before the North Cornwall District was created it was the administrative headquarters of the Camelford Rural District and before the improvements in transport a market town for the surrounding agricultural area. The Town Hall (now converted to other uses) was built in 1806. The Atlantic Highway passes directly through the town centre: the bypass planned many years ago has never been built.
