Local photographer Debbie Bate has been capturing the beauty of Wadebridge and the surrounding areas since she first picked up a camera as a young woman. Today, she encapsulates the very essence of the town, from the sweeping views of the River Camel to community events, and even puts together an annual calendar featuring scenic highlights.
