About

Padstow ward centres on the historic harbour town of the same name, situated on the west side of the Camel Estuary. The area includes the town's network of narrow streets, its working port, and extends to encompass surrounding residential areas and some farmland. The harbour remains a functional focus for fishing and boat trips, with its layout shaped by the tidal river.

The ward's coastline features several beaches, including Trevone Bay and Harbour Cove. The Saints Way long-distance path crosses the area, linking the estuary to the north coast. A notable local feature is the National Lobster Hatchery, a conservation charity operating from the harbour. The landscape is characterised by the estuary's broad waters and the rolling fields inland.
