Walks near Padstow

The Camel Trail

18 October 2021

The Camel Trail is a 19 mile route that follows the beautiful Camel River from Padstow, where it joins the sea in a wide estuary, to Poley's Bridge inland, where it is merely a stream running through woodland. En-route at Nanstallon you will also find the Camel Trail Tea Rooms. Bikes are for hire from either Padstow or Wadebridge and it's a brilliant area for bird watching. Visit Wenfordbridge in spring and delight in the profusion of daffodils, snowdrops and primroses.

Giant Steps and Staircases at Bedruthan

11 October 2020

A dramatic walk along the North Cornwall coast taking in a line of stumpy sea stacks called Bedruthan Steps, the stepping stones of a local giant! The walk is four and a half miles long and follows the coast to Park Head where it loops inland via Pentire Farm to return along the coastal path. The walk can be challenging with some steep, unfenced drops. Treat yourself to tea afterwards at the National Trust tea room at Carnewas car park. **Please note due to a major rockfall in 2020 the cliff steps to Bedruthan beach are closed until further notice**

Port Quin to Port Isaac

3 June 2012

If you are feeling adventurous take the route that follows the coastal path and benefit from the stunning view you will be surrounded by. Alternatively there is an inland walk which is equally attractive but less energetic and brings you to the same location.

The 'Doc Martin' Walk

A lovely stroll which takes you past some of the memorable features of the popular Doc Martin series including Bert's Cafe, the school and the Doc's house.

The Saints Way

During your 2 day trek of 28 miles from Padstow to Fowey you will see the best of Cornish landscapes including rugged cliff tops, inland tors, harbours and ports. If you prefer more of a challenge then why not take 3 days (40 miles) and complete all sections.

Wadebridge to St Breock

The walk starts from the Camel Trail towards Padstow but we have joined it and followed the same route from St Breock. This is a moderate walk of just over five miles and its recommended that you wear waterproof boots to cross the stream!. Take a look at the Web site for full route details.
