A short ferry trip across the Camel Estuary from Rock lies Padstow, a picturesque fishing harbour and historic town, with its pastel-coloured houses, trawlers, crabbers and yachts.
Time your visit to coincide with the return of the fishing fleet and you might encounter a conger on the quayside! You might even spot Rick Stein buying fish for his famous Seafood Restaurant - from the sea to the table in just a few hours.
Padstow is famous for the Padstow Mayday celebrations which is one of the oldest folk traditions in Britain. Come to Padstow on May Day and you will find the town throbbing to a pagan drumbeat as the 'Obby 'Oss is unleashed amongst the crowds of singing revellers celebrating the coming of summer.
You can visit the historic manor house of Prideaux Place whichi s at the top of Padstow town looking down over the harbour.
Take a fishing or boat trip around the dramatic local coastline from the quay at Padstow and afterwards enjoy a tasty portion of our local fish & chips!
