Padstow
Padstow is a town, civil parish and also fishing port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The community is located on the west bank of the River Camel tidewater approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Wadebridge, 10 miles (16 kilometres) northwest of Bodmin and 10 miles (16 kilometres) northeast of Newquay. The population of Padstow civil parish was 3,162 in the 2001 census, decreasing to 2,993 at the 2011 census. On top of that an electoral ward with the very same name exists but prolongs regarding Trevose Head. The population for this ward is 4,434. Commonly a fishing port, Padstow is currently a popular tourist location. Although some of its former fishing fleet continues to be, it is mostly a yachting haven on a significant shoreline with couple of conveniently navigable harbours. The influence of restaurateur Rick Stein can be seen in the port, and travelers take a trip from fars away to eat at his dining establishment as well as cafés. This has resulted in the town being called "Padstein", by food writers in the British media. Nonetheless, the boom in the popularity of the port has actually triggered house price inflation both in the port as well as surrounding areas, as individuals acquire homes to stay in, or as second or vacation houses. This has actually meant substantial numbers of citizens can not manage to purchase building in the location, with prices frequently more than 10 times the average income of around £ 15,000. This has resulted in a population decrease. Strategies to build a skatepark in Padstow have been suggested as well as funds are being increased to develop this at the Recreation Ground (Wheal Jubilee Parc).
