Padstow (/ˈpædstoʊ/; Cornish Standard Written Form: Lannwedhenek[2]) is a town, civil parish and fishing port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The town is situated on the west bank of the River Camel estuary, approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Wadebridge, 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Bodmin and 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Newquay.[3] The population of Padstow civil parish was 3,162 in the 2001 census,[4] reducing to 2,993 at the 2011 census.[5] In addition an electoral ward with the same name exists but extends as far as Trevose Head. The population for this ward is 4,434.[6]
The geology of the low plateau west of Padstow has resulted in such features as Tregudda Gorge where erosion along the faultline has caused sheer cliffs to form; and Marble Cliffs which has alternating dark grey and light grey strata. The Round Hole is a collapsed sea cave.[7]
