What to do and see in Padstow, England: The Best Things to do Good for Couples
Walking is a way of life in the picturesque Cornwall town of Padstow. The South West Coast Path—which, at 630 miles, is Britain’s longest footpath—stretches along the coast and, via ferry, across the River Carmel. The former fishing port is today a hub of fine wining and dining. Lose yourself in the Lost Gardens of Heligan, a fairyland of heirloom flowers, or go back to the future at the Eden Project, a horticultural wonderland housed inside dramatic biodomes.

This little bay provided hours of entertainment and adrenaline-spiking fun, so much so that we had to go back. The star attraction is the "coasteering" area at the southern side of the bay where you can test your mettle to the max by jumping off the sides of the cliff into the deep channel below - I'm not too ashamed to admit that my 49 year old brain refused to launch me from the highest ledges when my 10 year leapt off without so much as second thought! They were to drag away from this particular source of entertainment, being encouraged to leave only by the rapidly receding tide and subsequent reduction in depth of landing zone water. There's a nearby sea cave that can be accessed at low tide for the explorer in you, and the beach itself provides lots of space to build castles, play beach sports or just sun yourself. Body boarding and swimming under the careful watch of the lifeguards adds more fun, and when you fancy a coffee, hot chocolate or bite to eat, there's an excellent van in the large car park.

A great guided tour of the brewery, with many beer tastings along the way. From history of how the Brewery started and an great process walk through for how beer is produced - ingredients, process steps and packaging. A lot going on in a small space, but most importantly the beers are great. Great value for £25 per head, with a nice gift pack of two beers and a glass. Staying in Padstow for a long weekend, we were also able to buy a Firkin for a lot more beers later !! Highly recommend this tour in a great part of Cornwall.

We have always liked the Padstow Brewing Company beers, and liked the previous tasting rooms in Broad Street, so we were impressed to see that the old Post Office on Duke Street had been converted into another Padstow Brewery Tasting Rooms when we visited over the August bank holiday. We loved the new Tasting Rooms, and visited again twice during the first week in November before the lockdown started. The staff are really friendly, the beers are all fantastic, and we would recommend the Hop, Skip & Dance. We loved the cheese platter and the other platters looked really good too - perfect complements to the beers. We are hoping to return to Padstow in December - Covid permitting - and we will certainly be making a few more visits to the new Tasting Rooms while we are there. A special thanks to Gayle who looked after us this week, and by her own admission, loves her new job !

Had an amazing day here today despite being really busy, parked in the park and ride at the top of the hill £5 all day and free bus down to Padstow - well worth it as the town car park is always full! Had fun crabbing on the harbour, had lovely fish and chips from Chips Ahoy and also went on the ferry over to Rock for the first time today (return tickets are £4 for adults and £2 for children ) - spent a couple of hours exploring the area and enjoying the views!
