THE LOCATION:
Little Petherick is a small village located in a green valley between Padstow and Wadebridge. With its historic 14th century church and old granite cottages, this is a distinctly Cornish village and a great base for a holiday in North Cornwall. The Saints Way walking path passes through, and follows Little Petherick Creek into Padstow. The Old Mill Bistro serves delicious food and is just a short walk away.
The town of Padstow is an immensely popular harbour town and is a firm favourite with visitors, with much to offer. Padstow is an historic fishing port with a maze of picturesque narrow streets of stone, colour-washed and slate cottages and a pretty working harbour. Its a great place for people watching, grabbing a proper pasty, or you can try your luck with a spot of crabbing from the quayside.
There are many activities to enjoy in this area, such as regular boat trips, scenic walks along beautiful coastal paths, crazy golf or even a spot of fishing. You can also take the foot ferry to Rock and enjoy a walk along Daymer Bay, or climb to the top of Brea Hill to take in the stunning views.
If you prefer you can also just chill out, look around the shops and art galleries, or treat your taste buds in the fantastic range of eateries. In recent years, Padstow has gained a reputation as a foodieâs heaven, with many excellent restaurants, cafes and pubs. The rise of celebrity chefs such as Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth has helped this along.

The Seven Bays are Porthcothan Bay (nearest to Newquay), Treyarnon, Constantine Bay, Booby's Bay, Mother Ivey's Bay, Harlyn and then Trevone Bay (which is nearest to Padstow).
