The beautiful harbourside village of Padstow offers so many fantastic ways to relax. Shops and restaurants line the narrow, picturesque streets and art galleries exhibit all kinds of local art, jewellery and crafts.

The coastline around Padstow is spectacular and a stroll out to Hawker's Cove or beyond is a great way to while away a lazy afternoon. Padstow's beaches are soft and sandy, ideal for families. If you're feeling energetic, hire a bike and cycle the Camel Trail, a flat, easy route that winds inland through lovely countryside as it follows the Camel Estuary.

For a little natural history, visit the Lobster Hatchery and see the tiny lobsters before they are set free in the waters surrounding Padstow - you can even adopt a lobster! Or take a peek around Prideaux Place , a stunning Elizabethan manor house that has been in the same family for many generations.
