Padstow is an old fishing harbour with wonderful views beaches and walks. Before the advent of the railway, Padstow was the premier port on the North Cornwall coast, but the gradual silting up of the River Camel led to its decline.
One of the least spoilt of Cornish fishing ports. Narrow streets, pastel washed medieval houses, bustling waterfront and renowned restaurants. Archaeological evidence from the surrounding area indicates a thriving trade with the Mediterranean area in pre history, Trevose Head and lighthouse should be visited

Today it is a popular holiday resort. Highlight of the Calendar comes on May Day with the 'obby 'oss festivities in a ritual that began in pagan times, the heathen god, represented by an 'oss, is led through the streets by the teaser and followed by dancers in white.
Events: ‘Obby ‘Oss day, Carnival, Fish & Ships Festival.
