This morning we visit Padstow, a charming working fishing port surrounded by glorious sandy beaches that has seen its popularity explode over recent years and has become one the county's most cosmopolitan corners thanks to the celebrity chefs, including most notably Rick Stein, who have set up their award winning restaurants alongside Padstow's independent shops, pubs and pasty shops. It may be small, but exploring the picture-postcard warren of narrow medieval lanes sloping down to the bustling harbour is a must on any trip to Cornwall and you can't leave Padstow without getting a taste of a traditional Cornish pasty. After some time to look around and enjoy lunch we return to Newquay where the remainder of the day will be at leisure.
