Padstow

Padstow has functioned as a fishing port on Cornwall’s north coast since the Middle Ages. Set on the west bank of the River Camel estuary, it faces across the water towards Rock and out towards the Atlantic. The working harbour remains central to the town, while streets climb behind it towards Prideaux Place, an Elizabethan country house overlooking Padstow. Every 1 May, the town’s distinctive Obby Oss celebrations fill its lanes with processions, music and costumed hobby horses. The South West Coast Path passes nearby, connecting the harbour with Cornish headlands and bays. Browse additional webcams from Cornwall to extend your view of the Camel Estuary.
