Padstow to Bude N
ow to Rick Stien’s Padstow situated on the west side of the Camel estuary. It is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with wonderful bays and beautiful
sheltered golden beaches basking in an extremely mild and benign climate. The town itself has a colourful and ancient history. Old crooked streets slope down to the harbour where many fine medieval buildings can still be seen.
From the harbour you have a wonderful vantage point to watch the small fleet of daily fishing boats, and the antics of holidaymakers “messing about in boats”. You will find beaches within walking distance of the harbour, or a short drive along the coast will take you to some of the finest beaches in Cornwall. With its wonderful views this part of Cornwall is ideal for walking, golfing or a short break any time of the year, and dining out in the town is certainly no hardship. If you happen to be in the area in the late spring do not miss the old & curious festival of the Obby Oss, a magical sight to be seen for the children and great fun for everyone.
Mermaids form a cornerstone of Cornish folklore, as you might suspect for a seafaring people. The Mermaid of Padstow is said to be responsible for the Doom Bar outside the port, upon which hundreds of ships have foundered.
For the energetic there is the Camel Trail, this is eleven miles of disused railway beside the River Camel linking the towns of Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow.
follows the river towards Camelford. It
An extension isn’t a
road, it isn’t a path, and vehicles are banned. There are many visitors to this trail each year; some use it daily for jogging or bird watching, others for an occasional day out walking or cycling through some of Cornwall’s most beautiful and little-known countryside. Being an old railway track it is virtually level all the way.
