Padstow
is built upon the hillside overlooking the Camel Estuary, it is fine example
of a Cornish-fishing port. The town is largely unspoilt, with a beautiful harbour
fringed with many intact medieval buildings. Slate roofed houses crowd narrow
streets leading to the harbour on the western side of the Camel Estuary. The
Estuary is a haunt of sailors so in addition to fishing boats, yachts often
moor in the Inner Harbour. The Tudor mansion of Prideaux Place
is just outside of town in a commanding position. There are good shopping facilities,
a cinema, cafes and restaurants, including the famous Seafood Restaurant run by
Rick Stein. There are many old and friendly public houses, most of them
serving pub food and real ale. The town is home to some fine craft and gift shops,
artists' studios, book shops, and many other local amenities. On
the 1st of May the town celebrates the coming of Spring with the "Obby Oss".
Padstow is decorated with the first greenery of the year, bluebells and hazel
twigs, and the "Oss" processes with dancers, singers, and musicians, celebrating
Spring. The dance's origins are believed to be pagan and it is one of the oldest
remaining customs in England. There is plenty going on in all
seasons with fine beaches and scenery for all to enjoy. St George's Well, Trevone
Bay, Treyarnon, Harlyn and Constantine are a few of the spectacular
beaches all with easy access. Wet suites and surf boards can be hired from several
local shops, or in lay-bys in the summer. The Camel Trail
follows the former railway line along the estuary, via Wadebridge, to Bodmin
and beyond. It is ideal for cyclists or on foot at a more leisurely pace! Cycles
can be hired. The National Lobster Hatchery is located on the quay and
nearby is Crealy Adventure Park. |
