Video tour of Padstow

A short video tour of Padstow featuring the harbour, the beaches, Camel Trail, Rick Stein's cafe.

Padstow is approximately 14 miles north east of Newquay, on the north Cornwall coast at the mouth of the River Camel. The approach to Padstow Harbour from sea is notorious for the presence of the Doom Bar, a very dangerous sand bar which has caused many ship and small boat wrecks.

Padstow train station closed in 1967. The old railway line is now the Camel Trail, a footpath and cycle way which is popular owing to its picturesque route beside the River Camel.
