Padstow is a historic town and fishing port on the north coast of Cornwall and a very popular all year round destination for visitors both locally and from afar. It is situated on the west bank of the River Camel Estuary approximately 5 miles northwest of Wadebridge, 10 miles northwest of Bodmin and 10 miles northeast of Newquay.
There is always plenty of activity in Padstow from the variety of pubs, cafes, shops and restaurants available as well as the attractions of Padstow’s Dog Friendly Beaches, the beautiful Seven Bays for Seven Days nearby and the easy access to Walks along the South West Coast path and The Camel Trail and Estuary.
The town itself has a bustling quayside with picturesque harbour and consists of a warren of narrow medieval lanes, steeped in history and full of buildings depicting the History Of Padstow.
In addition there is also a regular Ferry service across to Rock and the beaches on that side of the Estuary as well as boat trips and tours enabling you to explore the coast and wildlife from the Estuary and sea itself.
