In Cornwall, Padstow is an example of what we do best - it's a working port which wears a holiday hat. Hotels, guest houses and holiday cottages are never more than a seagull's cry from the waters edge. Nestling on the beautiful Camel Estuary Padstow offers unrivalled holiday opportunities. The Town with its colourful harbour surrounded by pastel-washed medieval houses is an attraction in itself. For the more active and adventurous Padstow offers a range of activities including walking and cycling, the world famous Camel Trail, South West Coastal Footpath, water sports including fishing, surfing and sailing and unrivalled golf on the seaside links of St Enodoc, Trevose and the nearby Merlin Golf Club.
It's not all action of course - watching the everyday ebb and flow of harbour life is a perfect way to spend a day in Padstow. If you find this too hectic spend the afternoon relaxing at peaceful Harbour Cove with its lovely sandy beach and fabulous views of the Camel Estuary, or take a ferry trip across to Rock and visit the hushed church of St Enodoc where Sir John Betjeman is buried. Padstow is surrounded by glorious clean sandy beaches - no less than 7 bays are within a few minutes drive as are the villages of St Merryn, St Issey and Little Petherick.
More recently Padstow has become a foodies paradise with our resident Celebrity Chef Rick Stein leading a brace of high quality local restaurants offering everything from Fish and Chips to Fruits de Mer. Add to this an outstanding range of designer and boutique shops, top quality accommodation and Padstow really does have it all
