Walking is a way of life in the picturesque Cornwall town of Padstow. The South West Coast Path—which, at 630 miles, is Britain’s longest footpath—stretches along the coast and, via ferry, across the River Carmel. The former fishing port is today a hub of fine wining and dining. Lose yourself in the Lost Gardens of Heligan, a fairyland of heirloom flowers, or go back to the future at the Eden Project, a horticultural wonderland housed inside dramatic biodomes.

This little bay provided hours of entertainment and adrenaline-spiking fun, so much so that we had to go back. The star attraction is the "coasteering" area at the southern side of the bay where you can test your mettle to the max by jumping off the sides of the cliff into the deep channel below - I'm not too ashamed to admit that my 49 year old brain refused to launch me from the highest ledges when my 10 year leapt off without so much as second thought! They were to drag away from this particular source of entertainment, being encouraged to leave only by the rapidly receding tide and subsequent reduction in depth of landing zone water. There's a nearby sea cave that can be accessed at low tide for the explorer in you, and the beach itself provides lots of space to build castles, play beach sports or just sun yourself. Body boarding and swimming under the careful watch of the lifeguards adds more fun, and when you fancy a coffee, hot chocolate or bite to eat, there's an excellent van in the large car park.

Independent Craft Brewery selling our own award-winning beers in bottle, mini-keg and cask. Shop and bar available all day. Tours and Brew Day experiences available by appointment.
A great guided tour of the brewery, with many beer tastings along the way. From history of how the Brewery started and an great process walk through for how beer is produced - ingredients, process steps and packaging. A lot going on in a small space, but most importantly the beers are great. Great value for £25 per head, with a nice gift pack of two beers and a glass. Staying in Padstow for a long weekend, we were also able to buy a Firkin for a lot more beers later !! Highly recommend this tour in a great part of Cornwall.

A 6 mile headland walk along the South West Coast Path giving far-reaching views over the mouth of the River Camel and the Doom Bar, where mermaids wait to lure sailors to disaster! Features include sandy beaches, secluded coves, holy wells, a daymark tower and some stunning rock formations.
The sheer joy of walking part of the South West Coastal path from Padstow Harbour is just terrific...the sun is usually out, people smile and are happy and you have splendid views to gaze at...great stuff...

A long walk on the South West Coast Path, on mostly level terrain, although the route becomes more challenging and rugged after Gun Point. The dramatic coastline around Stepper Point includes an enormous collapsed sea cave at Roundhole Point.
I think like other dog walkers this is a favourite from padstow. Simple walk up the hill from padstow Easy access to the beach or clamber across the rocky outcrops. Walk on the soft sand or find the harder sand to walk on down the bay. Little inlet if you want to follow the path up past the lifeboat station and up to the top of the hill point or carry on if the ride lets you and walk up and around by the lifeboat.
