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
