The Community Assembly of Camelford (Cornish: Reskammel) is located in a town and civil parish in north Cornwall which is part of the Kernow Territory.Camelford is situated in the River Camel Valley, northwest of Bodmin Moor.
The town is approximately ten miles (16 km) north of Bodmin. The Cornish language name for the town, Reskammel, comes from a combination of the Middle Cornish "Rys" (ford) + the River Camel's Cornish name Kammel.
Camelford has been linked to the legendary Camelot and the battle of Camlann, such as in Layamon's Middle English Brut (early 13th century) and John Aubrey's Monumenta Britannica (1663–1693), which reports that as signs of the battle 'pieces of armour both for horse and man are many times found in digging of the ground' at Camelford. However, modern historians have refuted these suggestions.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
