Location

Padstow is well known as a working port where fishing continues to be an important part of the town’s industry. This vibrant town is a very popular tourist destination, particularly for the reputation of its top class restaurants, renowned for cooking locally caught seafood.

The estuary is ideal for water sports and there are championship golf courses at Trevose and St Enodoc. The Camel Cycle Trail, continuous for 18 miles through beautiful countryside, starts at Padstow. With its rich history Padstow attracts visitors from all over the world, notably for the annual May Day celebrations.

The surrounding coastline is stunning and accessible on foot with footpaths to coves and creeks towards Stepper Point where the South West Coast path continues to the popular beaches along the Atlantic coast. The ferry across the estuary to Rock operates all year round.
