Padstow
The walk begins at the White Shelter on North Quay Parade, near the ferry landing. Here, we’ll explore the ancient origins of Padstow — from its early trading links with distant civilizations to the arrival of St Petroc, whose legacy shaped the town’s spiritual heritage.
Padstow
We now move along North Quay toward the venerable inner harbour, which has been home to ancient buildings with a secret passageway, a ghost and Monks. At this time we also learn about the poverty of Padstow before the coming of the railway.

5.00It was a great way to see Padstow with a local, John, who knew all the history and stories. John had a lovely way about him and obviously liked people. He seemed to know everyone in town and his cheery banter with local folks going about their business was amusing. A great way to hear the stories and see hidden parts of Padstow with charming company.
