Padstow

Administrative Port: Newlyn
County: Cornwall
Population: 2993

Padstow is a town and fishing port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, and situated on the west bank of the River Camel estuary. During the mid-nineteenth century, ships carrying timber from Canada would arrive at Padstow and offer cheap travel to passengers wishing to emigrate. Shipbuilders in the area would also benefit from the quality of their cargoes. Traditionally a fishing port, Padstow is now a popular tourist destination. And although some of its former fishing fleet remains, it is mainly a centre for the yachting community.
