Top Walking Tip...
12th January 2012
What variety! High cliffs, rocky coves, golden sands, river estuary,amazing wildlife, thundering surf,endless views - and the SW Coast Path passes right alongside as it wends its way through Padstow on its journey northwards towards Hartland Point and west to Land’s End and beyond.
This truly spectacular national footpath attracts walkers from all over the country whether out for an afternoon stroll or just passing through as they attempt the complete (or part) 360 miles route. And if the Coast Path is not what you are looking for there are several other walks in and around the town.
The Padstow Circular Walk is a fine example. Starting at the harbour, the 7 miles (10km) walk takes in a huge variety of interesting scenery from the estuary sands to the exposed headland and the rolling green fields that are such a prominent feature of the area. Just don’t forget the camera! The lookout high on Stepper Point keeps watch during daylight hours 365 days a spectacular coastal landscape year. Ideally situated to cover the notorious Doom Bar that crosses the estuary and which is a well known hazard to local shipping, it is also perfectly placed to monitor the crowds having fun on the nearby surfing beaches. If you’re passing by why not call in on the duty officer for a chat.
The ‘Padstow Circular Walk’ Guide is on sale at Padstow Tourist Information Centre together with Ordnance Survey maps and a good selection of books about local walks and footpaths.
