Padstow harbour

With so much on offer, it’s ironic that one of the nicest things ways to pass time is by doing absolutely nothing. Simply take a seat at the picturesque harbour and watch the world go by.
 That said, the harbour is also the place to be for fishing boat trips, whale watching and more. 

A walker's paradise

Cornwall is a walker's paradise, and Padstow is certainly no exception. The rugged coastline and quiet coves are an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, and you’ll find fantastic cliff and country walks. Then there's the gorgeous Camel Cycle Trail from Padstow to Wadebridge. 

Beautiful beaches

Beach lovers are spoilt for choice! You’ll find seven gorgeous golden beaches all within less than a five-minute drive – one for every day of the week! If you're looking to try your hand at surfing, kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding, check out Harlyn Surf School, based close to Padstow at award-winning Harlyn Bay. 

Foodie heaven

There’s everything from perfect pasties to the very finest dining on offer in Padstow. Indulge in Rick Stein’s fish and chips, sit down in his famous fish restaurant or visit Paul Ainsworth at No.6 for a very special treat. And whatever you do, don't forget the Cornish cream teas!
