With glorious beaches, the Camel Trail, boat trips galore, easy access to the Cornish countryside, a museum, ferry and a wonderful array of eateries, it becomes quickly apparent how popular this seaside gem is.
The Padstow Museum is home to an interesting collection of memorabilia giving an insight into the history of Padstow over the past two centuries. You will learn the story of the famous ‘Obby’ Oss, the ancient ritual played out in the town every May Day. The event revolves around the two Obby Osses (hobby horses) which resemble a one-man pantomime horse. The idea is that they are in search of maidens and are followed by a team of morris dancing types, dressed in white and playing accordions and banging drums. It dates back to pre-Christian times. The picturesque port of Padstow is full of character and historical interest and offers watersports, fishing trips, speedboat rides, sea cruises and crazy golf. The town is centred around the attractive harbour with an eclectic mix of fisherman’s cottages and merchant’s houses. You can take a boat trip from the harbour with a range of activities from wildlife spotting to angling or just messing about on the water and enjoying the sunshine. The boast trips to spot seals, dolphins, puffins and basking sharks are very popular. You can even go out with a local fisherman. Also popular are the ferry trips over to the upmarket resort village of Rock. The Black Tor passenger ferry takes around five to ten minutes to cross the river and runs throughout the year. Rock is a second home to many film stars, models and holidaying royals. From Rock there are some wonderful walks along the coast to the spectacular beaches of Daymer Bay and Polzeath. Overlooking Padstow, you will find the fine Elizabethan country house, Prideaux Place. It was built in 1592 and has been passed down through the generations to the current owners, Peter and Elisabeth Prideaux-Brune. It boasts formal gardens and a deer park. There is a Poldark connection with Padstow. Fans of north Cornwall will recognise Levlizzick, the cliffs and the spectacular views across the Camel Estuary and Tregirls Beach on the drama series.
Wadebridge enjoys a fascinating history, originating from 1313 when a market and two fairs were granted to Wade. Its fifteenth century bridge across the River Camel is stunning with seventeen arches along its three hundred and twenty foot length. The bridge was built by the Reverend Lovibond in 1460 with legend saying that the wealthy landowners who paid for it made their money from wool. Cycles can be hired to explore the Camel Trail and the surrounding countryside. Wadebridge’s leisure centre offers swimming, squash, weights, a solarium and more. Wadesbridge is on the Camel Trail. In June every year, Wadebridge is the site of the magnificent Royal Cornwall Show, one of the largest agricultural shows held in the country.
St Enodoc, the last resting place of the former poet laureate Sir John Bedjeman, is also famous for its golf course. The area is a golfing haven with the renowned courses of Trevose and Point at Polzeath also close by.
Harlyn and Constantine Bays are wonderful and the surfing paradise of Polzeath is within easy reach. Constantine Bay is gorgeous with one of the best surfing beaches in Cornwall and boasting a sweeping arc of gently shelving golden sand. The west-facing beach also offers delightful rock pools for children. The bay is separated from its neighbour, Booby’s Bay to the north by a thin rocky point and is bordered by a large rocky reef to the south.
