Itinerary
1
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.
15 minutes
2
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.
15 minutes
3
Padstow Harbour
We now make our way into Mill Square, once home to a water powered mill and the site of some terrible outbreaks of disease in the mid 19th century.
