12/04/25 - Padstow to Trevone Bay

The Last Hurrah

I know the secret on how to be the most popular man in Padstow. Vacate your parking space at midday. They were like vultures, hovering, as I made the slowest reverse to man, giving the next tourist the freedom of the town.

But how rude, on this the last day of our dog sit, the weather turns. The worst of it expected from 1pm, so we are up early to arrive at Padstow. The final stage of an ALC completed at the 11th Century Celtic Cross church and an arrow straight farm track takes us through Trethillick and onto Trevone Bay.

The Adventure Lab Cache at Trevone tells us this is another community that has been hollowed out by second home owners. We can leave old fashioned political protest to the traditional geocaches.

The final coastal walking of the week takes us past Gunver Head but with the rain starting, we shortcut Stepper Point to cross cow fields back to the Camel estuary.

Of course, Padstow has plenty of options for post walk refreshment. Having sampled the beer (Old Ship, Tribute) and Fish and Chips (Chip Ahoy!) we are left with only one delicacy.

Cornish Pasties, as big as your shoe.
