Padstow - Pasties & Pints Quick Review

Town - harbour - busy, foodie

Padstow is a classic harbour town for a wander, a pasty, and boat watching. It's lively in summer and the centre feels cramped, but the estuary views help, especially at golden hour too. For a breather, walk the Camel Trail or hop over to Rock. Parking fills fast, so arrive early or use park and ride.
