Padstow Harbour
tourismPadstow's harbour — where fishing boats still unload their catch alongside tourist ferries and pleasure craft — is one of the most vivid in Cornwall. The surrounding streets are crammed with seafood restaurants, and the town has become a byword for Cornish culinary excellence, largely through Rick Stein's empire of restaurants and cookery school. The May Day 'Obby 'Oss festival is one of the oldest folk traditions in Britain.

Prideaux Place
historicPrideaux Place has been the home of the Prideaux-Brune family for over four hundred years, and its Elizabethan frontage has changed little since Elizabeth I was on the throne. The house stands above Padstow in extensive grounds with a deer park — one of only two remaining in Cornwall. Guided tours reveal fascinating family history and a fine collection of portraits and furniture.
