Overview
A natural harbor, Cornwall’s Padstow has thousands of years of history, but guidebooks don’t explore it in any depth. Join a Padstow local to unpick this beautiful town’s long story—from St. Petroc to smugglers, sailors, fishermen, and traders—on a gentle walking tour. As it’s a small group, there’s a relaxed pace and a mellow vibe, with plenty of time for questions as you stroll.
- A small group size means an intimate experience you won’t find on big tours
- Capture new angles on Padstow as you explore narrow lanes
- Hear Cornish legends, ancient history, and so much more
- Gentle walking route is suitable for travelers of all ages and fitness levels

Very informative and interesting tour of Padstow. John made it an enjoyable and relaxed experience. Extra bonus of meeting lots of locals whom John introduced en route.
Fun, informative and engaging tour, John made sure the whole group were enjoying it and we had many different ages amongst us - great guide !
John had good historical knowledge with plenty of personal details. He was very friendly and made sure all the party were included.
