Little Petherick Creek Bridge and View of Padstow

Highlight • Cycleway

An Iron Bridge spans the gap over Little Petherick Creek and gives a glimpse into the Camel Trail's past as a railway line.

The railway opened in 1899 with this bridge being the final piece of the puzzle connecting Wadebridge and Padstow. The trail over the bridge has been updated to accommodate cyclists and walkers from its original narrow wooden path.

Little Petherick Creek Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This historic bridge spans the Little Petherick Creek. It's an old stone structure with a traditional Cornish design, and the views as you cross it toward Padstow and over the water toward Brea Beach and Rock are spectacular.

Padstow Harbour

Highlight • Beach

Padstow is a charming fishing town and harbour that is rich in history and heritage. Whilst it can get busy, it is for good reason as the picturesque town has lots to see and experience. There are many attractive beaches and coves close to Padstow, too, including Bedruthan Steps, said to be the stepping stones of an ancient giant, and Constantine Bay, one of the best surfing beaches in the area.

St George's Cove

Highlight • Viewpoint

Just a half mile walk from Padstow will bring you to St George's Cove. At high tide there is just a small area of sand, it is low tide when the cove really gets to show off its best side. The golden sands are so vast you can walk all the way to Hawker's Cove and Harbour Cove.

Facing out into the Camel Estuary, it is lovely and sheltered but sadly it isn't a swimming beach, as tempting as it looks. The currents in the estuary are very strong and very dangerous. Enjoy the views over to Rock and Daymer Bay instead.

Stepper Point Daymark Tower

Highlight • Natural Monument

From the rugged headland of Stepper Point, you experience wonderful views over the Cornish coastline. The headland is topped by a stone tower, built as a 'day mark' to serve as a navigation beacon for seafarers during daylight.

Stepper Point Tower

Highlight • Monument

This perfect coastal path runs from Padstow to the lovely view at Stepper Point. Great views across the inlet to Polzeath. Stepper Point was built as a navigation point to keep sailors safe during the day, and offers fantastic views in all directions.
