When I was working in Montreal , Canada in the '60s my boss came from Padstow . He said he'd been to my hometown of Torquay many times , had to admit I had never been to Padstow. I now live back in Torquay , and I still have never been to Padstow , but it looks beautiful , I must give it a visit .🇬🇧

Thanks for this, I'm taking my mum with her wheelchair tomorrow and this video was great to show the smooth paths and roads in the centre/by the harbour. Thank you!

Padstow has never been as busy as it is this summer. As someone who lives here, we look forward to a few weeks from now, when it is still busy enough to have its lovely atmosphere, but not packed so much you can’t move, get in a restaurant, cafe or bar and full of people that think they can do anything they like because they are on holiday. Maybe do a 2nd tour and the other lovely restaurants and places eat and drink and see it out of season when it is even more beautiful 😍

Great idea - I'll definitely do that! The last time I visited (before this video) was just exactly as you say - was busy but not as busy as it is currently! I fell in love with the place!

Padstow is lovely but I'd prefer it when it's not too busy.

I bet Rick Stein's fish n chips are over priced, I'd rather stuck to somewhere cheaper.... That'll be just as good!!

Another great & fantastic video of PADSTOW CORNWALL | Full walking tour of Padstow Cornwall from Rick Stein Fish and Chips to Harbour i once went to Padstow when i was at penzance!.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Nice! It’s lovely isn’t it!

Christ. Brings back memories. I lived in a little cottage just off the harbor for 20 years. Lovely place and I miss it but couldn't deal with the crowds anymore. By the way there are lots more interesting areas to film. Prideax place....Padstow church... Lovely walk round Trip Troll. Buff lodge... Padstow social club. Old girder railway bridge... Also lots of lovely old buildings up town a little 😊

Another great place to visit 😊 🙌

As an English-born Canadian, I have the fondest memories of some of these beautiful scenic walks. i was fortunate enough to see them before the war and before they became so commercialized. It would help us get located if you would show a simple map in relation to the British Isles, then a close-up of the area itself. I often turn to Google Earth and attempt to follow in your footsteps. Wonderful videos and we all appreciate your hard work and attention to detail Bless you and stay safe. John, Ontario, Canada

Well, this is what staycations mean then. Absolutely crowded. THX

Love a good Cornish pasty 😀

Amazing place to walk arround.Thank you for all these views.I enjoyed it like always.Keep doing this great job!!!

Well said - Not a fan of Rick Stein's place

I don't mind having fish & chips when out and about near the sea, but not so much inclined to stand in a queue that long for it! A small fish and chippy a couple doors down in a small village where I lived. had the best I've eaten. Cheaper too since there was no sea for nearly 80 miles. I imagine you can get whiffs of all kinds of seafoods walking around Padstow amongst the eclectic mix of fisherman's cottages and merchant's houses. Thanks again for another enjoyable walk! :)

Hey mate it's Andy great walk round Again thanku ,looks a lovely place too go too keep your videos comeing 😊

Larger and busier than I expected but still lovely. I’m sure I would prefer to visit out of peak season when it is calmer. Your walks are very good - excellent camera work and no annoying music or voiceovers, just a few interesting facts displayed on the bottom of the screen. Your films really transport me to the location and as travel is no longer possible for me, it’s a treat to visit virtually.

looks awesome! seems like a very busy area

so crowded at padstown never been here before love all fish and chips

Love Padstow been to all three Ric Steins his fish and chips to me are no different to any other his restaurant mmmm well tbh I felt as if I was was in some ones front room and the food like you said it’s no better than what I’ve had before but his little cafe where we had a breakfast was a good fulfilling one the next year we went we stayed at Padstow we stayed at the custom house brilliant place and could not fault the food there it’s a great place this has been for me a brilliant video you got good footage 😎

I stayed there about 10 years or so ago. Lovely..

The little fish and chip shop in Southwold where they cook in beef dripping, Henry’s in Hunstanton or The chip shed in Bourton on the water for me, are the 3 best that I’ve had on my travels

Toon village in Cornwall! Best f&chips!

To many tourists, these are really great fish and chips. To those of us who live here they are not really any different apart from the price. All over Cornwall we get very fresh fish and one or two make chips even better. You will get good fish and chips everywhere in Cornwall. Stein's doesn't even feature in the top 20 in the county

Absolutely love Padstow 😍 Whenever I visit Cornwall I stay quite near here and regardless of where ive been during the day I always go to Padstow for dinner and a wander when it is a bit quieter 😏 Rick Stein’s fish and chip shop is perfectly good but more often than not I ate at the cafe that faces onto the harbour - cheaper and you get served quicker 😉

Agreed! Rick Steins is just ‘ok’ to me

The Waterfront in North Shields, we think are consistently the best, take-away or eat in, good sized fish in delicious soft, yet crispy batter(making me hungry now). Anywhere else tends to be a disappointment.

I lived in Padstow from 1978 to 79 and I liked the winters as it had fewer people, I remember Rick and Jill his first wife ,Rick then was a washed up failed D.J. he won't mind me saying that, Friday nights at the "club" was the reason for working.

Lovely video BUT soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many people

I have visited Cornwall many times and Padstow a few. Cornwall is naturally stunningly beautiful. Unfortunately the traditional employment in fishing, mining, farming etc have dramatically declined and many properties have been purchased as second homes. The result is that the locals struggle to survive out of the holiday season unless they work from home in tech jobs or other niche areas that aren't entirely seasonal. The overcrowding during the summer and other issues have destroyed the character that I knew 40-50 years ago. As for Rick Stein's restaurants, I'm afraid he's cashing in on his celebrity status and the food is highly overpriced and nothing more than mediocre. I'd urge you to give your custom to small businesses who depend on their income from their food and you'll contribute to a win-win situation.

Stein does not have any Michelin stars

Wonder why the holiday makers dont wear masks! Its not surprising we have the highest Covid numbers in the country! We are local and havent been out, apart from essential shopping, since the end of June because we dont want to catch Covid. I wish someone would explain why they dont feel the need to protect themselves and others!
