All the fun of the Fayre….

Great news, the Padstow Christmas Fayre is back!

The highlight of many a Christmas calendar is returning to Padstow this December, and although there is always a super-packed programme of events in town, it’s also the perfect time of year to explore some of the other activities this gorgeous area has to offer. Why not start the day with a brisk coastal walk along the famed Southwest Coastal Path, followed by a spot of wine tasting at one of the UK’s best vineyards. Sounds like hungry work? Then why not head back to Padstow and indulge in an Italian feast with one of the best views in town.

If you are staying with us at Ocean Blue, you only have to stroll a few metres from your door to join the Southwest Coast Path. We don’t need to send you off on a mammoth hike, so head across the beach and pick up the path that heads towards Porthcothan Bay. Follow the coastline as it dips and rises to the top of the bay and then circle back on the lanes, creating a lovely 3.6-mile walk. See the Southwest Coast Path website here for more details.

As all that walking will have made you thirsty, it must be time for wine. Just a few miles from Treyarnon Bay you will find Trevibban Mill Vineyard, one of Cornwall’s finest wine producers. Stop by and enjoy a tasting session featuring their most exciting tipples or book a spot on a wine tour and learn the secrets of their success. This is a must for the wine enthusiast, as from the viniculture to the production, these guys sure know their wines. Booking is essential for both tastings and tours, so head to their website here for more information.

You are now on your way to Padstow, so it’s time to think about food. Head over to Pucellis and enjoy a panoramic view of Padstow Harbour, all framed beautifully by the Christmas Festival lights. With a menu featuring Italian classics and family favourites, Pucellis is always buzzing with a lively atmosphere, especially during festival weekend.

After dinner, take a stroll around the town and plan your next day’s activities, there is so much more to see!!
