Easily missed, very small National Trust car park and a 10 minute walk gets you to a great beach, best visited on the ebb tide as covered at high water. Plenty for kids to explore

3. The Little Gin Shack
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 78 reviews
The Little Gin Shack is a boutique gin emporium in Wadebridge, North Cornwall near Padstow selling gins specially selected for their quality and taste. Whilst we have a good selection of gins created in our beautiful home county of Cornwall, we felt it important to include some of the very best from further afield. All our Gins are available to order online, but what we really enjoy is when people come and see us for a chat, a gin tasting, or even to create your very own flavour sensation! The Little Gin Shack is a lovely place to visit if you’re in the area, you’ll always be made to feel welcome. Take the opportunity to tap into Neil’s in-depth knowledge of each gin in the collection and how best to drink it.

What a Gem. Love this place. If you like gin this is the place to go. Neil and the Team are always very welcoming and not only do they have a vast array of gins (to sample, drink there or buy to take away) but they are also very knowledgeable and will guide you through until you find the one you really like (if you havent hit the floor by then lol) We were there with our Family, on a sunny evening last week and as always had a great time. Would highly recommend. Hopefully, see you again soon

Even on a blustery cold day, an absolute pleasure. Plenty of parking, not free so dont forget to pay and display, though its a narrow approach so expect to do some shuffling round in season. Im pretty sure most people can accommodate that! Regardless, beautiful beach, we hit it when the tide was way out so had the choice of directions to wander, opting for the Polzeath direction. If you take the coast path its a couple of miles to Polzeath and a cuppa!! Lovely wide open beach at low tide with great views. Of note, or at least we enjoyed seeing it, were the striped rocks. Super colours, what amazing things nature gives us! Overall a good couple of hours out, though longer could be spent quite easily. Dog friendly, and as with all Cornwalls great beaches please pick up after your dog and keep it this way. Thanks!!

I always visit Granny’s Wobblys Fudge when visiting Wadebridge it areas close by. Sometimes you get to see them making the fudge fresh. There are lots of flavours to choose from and tastes amazing!

We were planning on meeting friends in Padstow for lunch but could not get parked so had to abandon that idea and decided to head in the direction of Wadebridge. On the way there I had a quick look at tripadvisor recommendations for pubs 'near me' and stumbled across this little gem. A lovely old traditional pub, excellent service and excellent food at a reasonable price. We will definitely return here on our next visit to Cornwall. And Covid compliant

Great little & quaint church, in the middle of St Enodoc Golf Course. Be aware of low flying golf balls!

The camel trail is ideal if you’re a cyclist or a walker, the views are simply stunning as well as the old railway features that are still in place . My favourite part has to be from Wadebridge to Padstow. It’s approximately about 6.5 miles and relatively flat for the most part. Highly recommended for a great day out.

Whenever we visit North Cornwall we have to take a trip up to the Rumps. The views are stunning and rather prehistoric. Beautiful
