The famous harbour town of Padstow draws visitors all year round, thanks to its unspoilt charm as a historic (and still working) fishing port surrounded by fabulous sandy beaches and spectacular scenery. The many attractions in and around the town include RIck Stein's world-famous restaurants and cookery school, the Camel Trail, Trevose Golf and Country Club, boutique shopping, surfing, boat rides, fishing trips, cycling, coastal walks, historic houses and gardens. An ideal holiday base for all ages with plenty to do whatever the weather. The acclaimed Eden Project is a short drive away and Tintagel (home of King Arthur's Castle), Rock, the Lost Gardens of Helligan, St Michael's Mount, Port Isaac (filming location for Doc Martin) and St Ives (with its own Tate Gallery) are all within easy reach, as is the busy town of Newquay and numerous child-friendly attractions. The area is also a haven for wildlife and birdwatching and is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty.
