Flower Delivery to Padstow – A Town and Fishing Port in Cornwall

Already a bustling port during the time of Elizabeth I, Padstow continues on with that tradition. But now, there are several fish restaurants about town and local fisherman supply these establishments with what they need. Padstow is located on the west bank of the River Camel estuary and is located five miles north-west of Wadebridge, 10 miles north-west of Bodmin and 10 miles north-east of Newquay.

HISTORY

With its location in a small valley on the sheltered portion of the River Camel, Padstow became a thriving fishing port and eventually a trading port. The town experienced rapid growth during the 16th and 17th centuries thanks to the bridge in Wadebridge which prevented boats from getting further up the river.

The mining and quarrying industry in town were also responsible for growth in the area and drove the town to become a major port. The pilchard and shipbuilding industry helped the town flourish further in the 19th century.

Tourism arrived in Padstow when the railway was completed in 1899. Regular service ran between London and Padstow and even with this development, the town's fishing industry still thrives.
