Padstow is a thriving port for both the fishing industry and pleasure craft. You you may be surprised to learn that the town was not built on the coast but a mile up the estuary of the River Camel. The original founders must have appreciated the shelter provided by the little cove nestling on the side of the estuary - as the eclectic age of the houses and buildings all around the harbour bear witness - and today’s inhabitants surely do too.
