Padstow Cornwall tourist information on TourUK

Padstow

Padstow, on the Camel estuary, which is wide here. The old Padstow harbour is a working port, and the town has small steep streets. The harbour is still used, although once silted up because a local man shot a mermaid with an arrow. Quite a nice town, with good restaurants, but gets very busy in the summer. Car parks along by the harbour. 16th Century Raleigh Court on the quay is where St Walter Raleigh held court. THE May Day event, the Hobby-Horse dance, is held yearly on 1st May, lots of music and colour in the streets. Tropical bird gardens to visit, and Rick Stein's fish restaurant is in the town, please book, TourUK staff accept any invitations to this restaurant, having been once and more than happy to go again!. Rick Stein also has a guest house and fish shop and recently opened a fish and chip shop..
