Padstow (; Standard Written Form: Lannwedhenek) is a town, civil parish and fishing port on the north coast of Cornwall, 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. The population of Padstow civil parish was 3,162 in the 2001 census, reducing to 2,993 at the 2011 census. 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.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.

The Saints' Way (Cornish: Forth an Syns) is a long-distance footpath in mid Cornwall, England, UK.

Trevorrick is a hamlet near St Issey in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is located about two miles south of Padstow just to the east of Little Petherick Creek. Half a km north is Sea Mills, a house on the banks of the creek. Sea Mills was a grist mill in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was powered by flood tidal water which then drove a water wheel when the tide was on the ebb. The sea walls can still be seen including the sluice gate but the wheel is long gone.

Rock Lifeboat Station is the base for Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) search and rescue operations on the River Camel in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It operates a D-class (IB1) lifeboat, which since 2014 has been the Rusper II.

Tregirls (Cornish: Tregryllas, meaning farmstead of the ruins of an ancient dwelling) is a farmstead in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately half-a-mile (1 km) north of Padstow. The settlement consists of a farm and converted cottages which are let as holiday accommodation.Tregirls beach (which takes its name from the settlement) is 500 metres north at grid reference SW 911 769. The north-facing beach is in the River Camel estuary and is backed by dunes with a small stream trickling across the sand at low tide from the corner of the beach tucked hard behind Stepper Point known as Harbour Cove. Beyond Harbour Cove towards Stepper Point is Hawkers Cove, previously the location of the RNLI Padstow lifeboat, now too shallow even at high tide and dry sand at low tide, the result of the sands shifting over the years. The South West Coast Path runs behind the beach before climbing above the rocky side of the river at Hawkers Cove on its way to the Daymark on Stepper Point. Today at low water Tregirls beach extends half-a-mile into the estuary and at its northeast point forms the Doom Bar, a spit of sand across the river mouth. However this was not always so as the deep water channel used to run close to Stepper Point, as is evidenced by the old lifeboat station being located at Harbour Cove. The settlement of Tregirls takes its name from the manor of Grylls or Tregrylls of which it was a parcel along with Crugmeer, Treator, and Trenio.

Rock (Cornish: Pennmeyn) is a coastal fishing village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is opposite Padstow on the north-east bank of the River Camel estuary. The village is in the civil parish of St Minver Lowlands about 4 miles (6.4 km) north-west of Wadebridge.

Treator is a hamlet west of Padstow, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.It was the birthplace of Sir Goldsworthy Gurney (1793–1875), a surgeon, chemist, lecturer, consultant, architect, builder and prototypical British gentleman scientist and inventor, of the Victorian era.

Brea Hill (Cornish: Bre, meaning hill), pronounced "Bray Hill" is a round hill beside the River Camel estuary in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom The hill is 62 metres (203 ft) high and there are Bronze Age tumuli (burial mounds) at the summit. The underlying geology in this area of Cornwall is Devonian slates. Brea Hill is situated at the south end of Daymer Bay between the settlements of Trebetherick and Rock in the civil parish of St Minver Lowlands. approximately five miles northwest of WadebridgeOn the west side, Brea Hill rises straight from the foreshore; on the north and south it rises from low sand dunes. To the east, the dunes give way to a golf course and grassland with St Enodoc's Church (where the poet Sir John Betjeman is buried) just below the hill. Brea Hill is within the Rock Dunes SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). The reason that Brea Hill is such a positive feature in the landscape is that the centre of the hill, west to east, is a dolerite dyke, well-seen from the beach on the west and in the quarry on the east slope and in both exposures soft-sediment deformation is seen implying the intrusion followed shortly after deposition of the material which later became slate during the Variscan Orogeny. The dyke is shown on the British Geological Survey map Sheets 335 and 336, and memoir, for the Geology around Trevose Head and Camelford. The South West Coast Path follows the west flank of the hill with an alternative route passing to the east. Brea Hill is grassed and treeless (except for a small wooded area low on the south flank) with rough footpaths leading to the summit and burial mounds.

Porthilly (Cornish: Porthhyli) is a small coastal settlement on the east side of the River Camel estuary in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated immediately south of the larger village of Rock approximately four miles (6.5 km) northwest of Wadebridge.The settlement is in the civil parish of St Minver Lowlands. It is on the south side of Porthilly Cove, an estuarine bay with a level intertidal beach.St Michael's church, an ancient chapelry of St Minver parish, stands on the seawall above the cove. First mentioned in a deed dated 1299, the building has Norman features and was substantially restored in 1867. It has a chancel and nave, a south transept and a bell turret containing one bell.In the churchyard to the south of the church is a medieval four holed cross. It is listed Grade II.

Daymer Bay is a bay and a beach on the east side of the River Camel estuary in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately six miles (10 km) north of Wadebridge.Daymer Bay lies west of Trebetherick village at grid reference SW 928 775. The bay is bounded to the north by Trebetherick Point and to the south by Brea Hill. Daymer Bay beach is backed by dunes and behind them is St Enodoc's Church where the poet John Betjeman is buried. The beach is very popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing.Daymer Bay lies between Trebetherick Point SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and Rock Dunes SSSI. Much of Daymer Bay is designated as a County Geology Site by Cornwall Wildlife Trust because of the submerged forest sometimes visible at low tide when not totally or partially covered by sand. The submerged forest is one of many in Cornwall and includes tree stumps and roots, woody material, seeds, well-preserved land-snails and bones of frog/toad and other animals, and is dated, from one sample, at between four and four and a half thousand years old.
