The harbor town of Padstow has in recent years become a powerful magnet for tourists visiting the North Cornwall coast. Settlement in the region dates back to the 1800s when it thrived as a trade center, mainly focusing on the pilchard industry. The region is extremely picturesque, and with a superfluity of boat and ferry rides over the estuary, it is a near-match definition of a paradise to outdoor enthusiasts. If you are planning a trip over to this gorgeous town along the Atlantic coast, be ready to be wowed with the incredible range of attractions that awaits you, including the harbor, Prideaux Place, St George’s Cove, the scenic Camel Trail, and the Rock Ferry among others. While you plan your trip, read below for our recommendations on the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Padstow, United Kingdom.
