YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Padstow
Harbour and old streets
Explore the streets leading into the harbour and pause to watch the boats. Shops and galleries make this more than a quick photograph stop. A morning around the centre also helps you decide where to return for an evening meal.
Ride the Camel Trail
The Camel Trail follows the estuary from Padstow towards Wadebridge and continues inland. Choose a section to suit the least confident rider in your group, allowing for the return journey. Cycle hire offers an option if you cannot bring bikes with you.
National Lobster Hatchery
The National Lobster Hatchery introduces marine conservation and the life of lobsters, making a useful family outing away from the beach. Padstow Museum is nearby if you would also like to understand the town's maritime and social history.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Look through the boutiques, galleries and food outlets around the centre rather than expecting a large shopping mall. Pick up picnic ingredients before a trail outing, and separate everyday food spending from any special seafood meal you want to book.
Planning your holiday in Padstow
Padstow's harbour is on an estuary. For a surf or sandcastle day, choose a particular beach and its access arrangements rather than assuming the harbour front is your beach destination; the beaches around the wider area have different settings.
Choosing where to stay
Compare the park's address with Padstow itself and the activity you will use most. Accommodation advertised across the wider Padstow area may need a separate journey to reach the town, cycle trail or preferred beach.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
