Padstow
is an ancient town dating back to around 2500 BC but it was not
until the arrival of St Petroc in the 6th Century that
the town began to develop. Situated at the mouth of the River Camel
and sheltered from the prevailing wind, the town is centred around
the harbour with cottages, small narrow streets, quays, cafes,
restaurants and small shops of every description. The main
attraction of Padstow is undoubtedly its natural beauty, from its
tiny streets to its magnificent walks along the golden sands.
