Local areas
  • Cycle the Camel Trail

    Hire bikes to cycle The Camel Trail, a scenic 18 mile route from Padstow along the River Camel estuary.

  • Padstow Museum

    Small yet fascinating, the little Padstow Museum sits unassumingly in the harbour carpark, filled with exhibits and archives that reveal some of the lesser-known sides to the town's history.

  • Prideaux Place

    Visit the Elizabethan manor of Prideaux Place, a short walk from the harbour, and relax in the perfectly maintained gardens. Book ahead for tours: the house and grounds are open April to October only.

  • National Lobster Hatchery

    Visit the National Lobster Hatchery in Padstow to learn about marine conservation and the lobster's lifecycle. See baby lobsters being raised and discover how the centre supports sustainable fishing.
