Chapel Amble

Chapel Amble is a village in the civil parish of St Kew in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Situated two miles (3.2 km) north of Wadebridge, it lies beside the River Amble, a tributary of the River Camel. The oldest part of the village occupies rising ground facing south‑east across the river, a placement that hints at the close relationship between settlement and water. From this higher ground the village looks across the river, its historic core arranged to take advantage of the outlook. Nearby Wadebridge provides a clear point of reference, yet Chapel Amble retains the compact scale and riverside character that mark many Cornish settlements. The village’s riverside position beside the Amble defines its identity and connects it to the wider Camel system. For anyone exploring north Cornwall, Chapel Amble is a small, distinctive riverside place a short distance from Wadebridge, where the interplay of river and rising ground shapes both setting and story.
