Harbour Town
Padstow is a quaint Cornish town that you simply must explore on your next visit. In the town, you'll find boutique shops and galleries at every twist and turn, showcasing the very best of Cornwall's makers & shakers! You'll always be led back to the harbour, at the very heart of this coastal town. Sit along the harbour wall and tuck into an ice-cream or Cornish pasty... just watch out for the seagulls!
At the coast
Padstow's coastal position makes it the perfect place to explore on land and sea. Jump on a wildlife watching boat trip, or find out more about our marine life at the National Lobster Hatchery. Relax on one of the many sandy beaches in and around the area, or learn to ride the waves at a local surf school.
Padstow is also the ideal destination for exploring on two (or three!) wheels. The Camel Trail is an 18 mile cycle trail between Padstow, Wadebridge, Bodmin and Wenfordbridge. We recommend ending in Padstow and rewarding yourself with tasty local treats!
