Join local guide John for a fascinating 1.5-hour history walk through the charming Cornish town of Padstow. Discover the stories hidden within its narrow streets, historic harbour, and centuries-old buildings as you explore how this picturesque fishing port has evolved over time.

• The historic harbour, once bustling with fishermen and traders.
• Insights into Padstow’s shipbuilding and fishing industries.
• Stories of local legends, smugglers, and sailors.

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.

A very interesting tour with lots of first-hand, local stories and anecdotes. I’ve lived in the area for about 20 years now and have been visiting Padstow all my life, but I learnt things I never knew! John was welcoming, funny, enthusiastic and knowledgable. Definitely recommend!

It 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.
