Padstow is a picturesque fishing port renowned for its culinary scene, thanks to celebrity chef Rick Stein, who has several restaurants here and more recently, by Paul Ainsworth’s No 6 restaurant. Situated on the Camel Estuary, this vibrant working harbour has been in use since 2,500 BC and today Padstow is home to many restaurants, cosy tearooms, bistros, welcoming pubs, local shops & galleries, making it a must-see foodie destination and tourist attraction! The area is rich in natural beauty including Stepper Point, and wonderful golden sandy beaches to explore such as St George’s Cove, Tregirls beach (Hawkers Cove) and Butterhole, as well as the glorious 7-Bays that lie between Padstow and Newquay. From Padstow there are many scenic walks out to Stepper Point, including the start of the Saints Way at Padstow Church that crosses mid Cornwall to Fowey on the south coast. Padstow is also the end point of the Camel Trail, a fantastic bridleway, cycling and walking footpath that travels along the river Camel and passes through Wadebridge to Bodmin. There is a regular foot ferry across the estuary to Rock where you can pick up the Southwest Coast Path to Daymer Bay, Polzeath and beyond. Most everyday shopping requirements can be met in Padstow, but Wadebridge’s market town is only eight miles distant.¬
