Plenty of activity with boats and the ferry coming and going. Many seats to enjoy the view with a number of restaurants and pubs on or near the harbour front.

Stunning harbour and views across Camel Estuary. Good selection of shops and restaurants, notably the Rick Stein empire. Crowded during holiday periods though.

We visited last week and it was gorgeous! Shops around are very nice, some a little pricey, but it is Padstow! Lovely to walk around the harbour and see what is going on, there are boat rides going on all the time which are also good fun.

This place is ok to look but the price of things is a bit high. Rick Steins restaurant & shops are there but again the good to look at. There is a lovely little fudge shop which I always buy a little amount from for the sweet tooth.

Once again a lovely visit which co-incided as the day before Obby Oss day, a local traditional event. Town was decked out with bunting and flags which added to its charm. Town is well kept, clean and tidy with plemnty of litter bins. Charming buildings and a lovely setting.

Lovely old town, very quaint. Rick Steins fish and chip shop was good too, but expensive we thought.
