Experience Overview:
The Ghost Walk Padstow - Tour Of Cornwall’s Myths And LegendsStep into the shadows of old Padstow with a costumed guide—real ghost stories, hidden alleys, and dramatic tales await.
Led by early 19th-century merchant Thomas Rawlings, this walking tour reveals the hidden stories behind Padstow’s most historic landmarks. We don’t just point out the sights — we bring them to life with vivid storytelling, based on real historical events and legends. From one of the oldest houses in town to a centuries-old coaching inn, secret alleyways, the medieval St Petroc’s Church and more, you’ll experience Padstow’s past in a way few visitors ever do.
Perfect for curious travellers who love history, hidden gems, and authentic local insights.
Well behaved dogs welcome.
Parental guidance is advised for children under 10 due to references to historical punishments and local legends involving death.
There is one uphill section after the church for a walk of about 100m. A powered wheelchair would cope, but pushing a manual chair difficult.
