Chapel Amble
Coordinates: 50°32′38″N 4°49′44″W / 50.544°N 4.829°W
Chapel Amble (Cornish: Amaleglos) is a village in north Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated 2 miles north of Wadebridge at grid reference SW 997 754.[1]
The village is situated next to the River Amble, a tributary of the River Camel. The main road through the village crosses the river on a stone bridge with high cutwaters.
The village has a shop and a pub named The Maltsters' Arms.
Despite being a small village, Chapel Amble appeared in the national press in 2002 after the murder of a local farmer. The fact that a newspaper reporter was a local resident probably assisted in this receiving so much attention. The article dates the village back to at least 1373.,[2] although the earliest written mention of Chapel Amble is in the Domesday Book where 'Amal' was held by Thurstan from the Count of Mortain.[3]
