Padstow in the north of Cornwall is a delightful small town with an inner and outer harbour that sits on the edge of the beautiful Camel Estuary, a mile or two from the sea. Made famous by the TV programmes featuring the chef Rick Stein, the town is now more attractive than ever to visitors. Across the other side of the estuary can be seen the beautiful village of Rock, which was a well-known holiday venue for well-healed young people from the smarter parts of London, though I gather they now prefer Polzeath.
