Sightseeing
Nice little bay, gentle waves so great for swimming or small children playing in the shallows, watch the harbour jumpers when the tide is right! You can also pick up the coastal path for a lovely walk to Menabilly.
You can grab a pizza or past at Sam's on the Beach or good pub grub at the Rashleigh Inn but book as it can get busy.

A charming place for a wander, with lots of cafes and shops add to this a trip in the foot ferry over to Polruan, fun for the little ones and can save the legs if you go from the car park to the centre!
There are new restaurants that have opened up here but an old favourite of ours is Sam's for the burgers fish &cocktails but you can't book so have to arrive early for a table. For fine dining try The Old Quay House.

A must visit for Christmas when they have a truly remarkable garland. There are lots of walks and trails available. There is historic Cotehele Quay on the banks of the River Tamar, once a busy working quay where goods were shipped goods to and from Plymouth.

Lots of cafes, restaurants to choose from fish and chips on the harbour wall (watch out for the seagulls) or fine dining at Number Six or Rick Steins. You can even play crazy golf at Green's of Padstow while enjoying great food!
Padstow is always busy and buzzing, we tend to cycle to avoid the parking frenzy, an easy jaunt from Wadebridge.
If you want to head out to sea there are plenty of boat trip options.

Lanhydrock House is worth a visit even if stately homes aren't your thing!! It's steeped in history with fantastic Victorian kitchens and you get a real sense of Victorian life through out the house. The gardens are beautiful and allow kids to run of steam, they often have trails for them to follow.
There are acres of parkland and woodland to roam with charming river walks.
Alternatively there are the cycle trails, you can hire a bike and try the stunt track or a gentle green trail. You can access the cycle section without paying to go in the house and there is a separate cafe and play area too. If you are lucky you might be able to take in a cricket match too on the beautiful green next to the car park.
Lots to see & do and only 2 miles away!
