Padstow is probably one of the most popular, and growing holiday locations on the north Cornwall coast. You can see why it has many flavours - from Rick Stein's seafood restaurant base, to the benefits of being both at the heart of the Camel Estuary and the beginning of the new Camel Trail, as well as being close to many superb beaches and surfing beaches.

Crammed with a choice of accommodation, an attractive harbour and the remains of much medieval architecture, Padstow is a most attractive north Cornwall holiday base.

Other perks include a choice of outdoor activities close at hand such as golf, fishing, water sports, surfing, spectacular sandy beaches, walking around the estuary, coast and Camel Trail, birdwatching and superb sailing!

Holidaymakers have a choice of 7 bays and beaches in this area. Boat trips are a must to view this spectacular Cornish coastline from Padstow to Rock!

Padstow has also fairly recently become a real centre for Cornish food, particularly seafood. Celebrity chef Rick Stein has set up shop here at Padstow with not just his seafood restaurant, but also a food outlet and even a fish and chip shop.
