Padstow has much to offer its visitors. The harbour is definitely the main focus of the town and you can find a selection of pubs, restaurants, cafés and shops along the quay. Wander around the old part of town, visiting St. Petroc’s church which dates back to the 13th century and the Elizabethan country house Prideaux Place complete with deer park. The old train station has been renovated and is home to the Padstow Lobster Hatchery, Rick Stein’s deli and fish & chip shop, and the beginning of the Camel Trail. It’s a short walk along the Camel Estuary and past the War Memorial to one of Padstow’s beaches. Don’t forget the very popular May Day and Christmas Festival.

You won’t go hungry while in Padstow! Treat yourselves to a meal at any number of establishments, Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant and Paul Ainsworth at No. 6 are a must. Not to mention award winning pasty makers The Cough on the quay. Bistros, Tapas Bars, Pizzas and good old Fish & Chips. There are also plenty of quaint and cozy pubs to stop off for a drink, some of which do a proper Sunday Roast.

Padstow is conveniently located near to some of Cornwall’s best beaches. Trevone Beach is a 2 mile drive away and Harlyn Beach (dog friendly all year round), one of the best beaches in the area for surfing, coasteering and other water activities. The popular holiday resort of Newquay is a 10 mile drive via the rugged coast road, passing numerous beaches along the way.

Padstow holds many fond memories for my family and I. While I grew up in nearby Trevone, my friends and I would spend a great deal of time in Padstow. We would hang out at the beaches along the estuary, hop across to Rock on the ferry or simply sit on the quay dangling our feet over the edge. My first ever job was at a fudge shop on the harbour where I possibly ate more than I sold!

Whenever I return to Padstow and I start walking down the hill, through the old part of town, I take it all in: the beautiful quirky old houses, the smell of the sea, the gulls crying over the picturesque harbour, musicians playing on the bandstand and the pasties cooking! Quite often, in the bustle of the town, I’ll bump into a dear friend.
I hope that everyone who stays at Arbel will also enjoy Padstow and all it has to offer and take home many warm memories from this very special part of Cornwall.
