Apropos of pasties, though I mentioned Barnecutts several years ago, I feel I need to mention the Chough Bakery right in the middle of Padstow. Fabulous pasties, and you can get a takeaway cup of tea a few yards up the road from the bloke at the serving hatch (£1.50 for a good-size paper mug) and sit on the wall by the harbour. If the thought of crowded Padstow doesn't appeal (it's very nice, actually, in spite of the ravening hordes), do what we do: enjoy the walk I mentioned that starts at Trebetherick/Daymer Bay car park, going by St Enodoc's and the grave of Betjeman, then when you reach Rock take the ferry across to Padstow (very frequent, three quid return), have your pasty, back to Rock on the ferry and stroll back on the beach to Daymer Bay. Make sure the beach section doesn't coincide with high tide unless you fancy a bit of a hike up the hill next to the beach, though the views from the top are great. If you like cyclng, Padstow is at the end of the Camel Trail. A gentle, level ride is to start at Wadebridge and do the return trip to Padstow, an easy 11 miles with lovely views, plenty of places at each end to hire bikes and plenty of places to fasten your bike to while you toddle off for that pasty. If you park at either Wadebridge or Padstow or Daymer Bay it'll cost at least three or four quid. Grrr.
