Padstow is situated close to the seven bays of Cornwall, which are extremely
popular with surfers. The town itself is right at the bottom of a slope. The
town is made famous by celebrity Chef Rick Stein, who has a restaurant down
by the waterfront (and a few other shops in town too) . If you intend to
sample his culinary ingenuity, make sure you book well in advance, months in
advance in fact. It is worth trying the dish Fruits de Mer
Hire a bicycle down near the Lobster nurseries and follow the Camel trail
along the estuary to Wadebridge. The path itself is roughly 5 miles each way,
so it is manageable even by younger children. The view is spectacular and the
path itself is flat all the way,
so you can simply rely on momentum to get you to the other end.
The seven bays themselves are made for surfing
,
with clean sandy beaches and plenty of rock pools to keep everyone
entertained
.
The tide starts from way out in the morning and ends up covering most of the
land recess by the evening, so a lot of the water in trapped into streams
connecting the rock pools when the tide eventually goes out again. Looking
for crabs ? no problem
