Padstow is a community, civil parish and angling port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, UK. The community is positioned on the west financial institution of the River Camel tidewater about 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Wadebridge, 10 miles (16 kilometres) northwest of Bodmin as well as 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Newquay. The population of Padstow civil parish was 3,162 in the 2001 census, decreasing to 2,993 at the 2011 census. Furthermore a selecting ward with the same name exists but expands regarding Trevose Head. The population for this ward is 4,434. Commonly a fishing port, Padstow is currently a prominent traveler location. Although a few of its former angling fleet remains, it is generally a yacht haven on a significant shoreline with couple of quickly accessible harbours. The influence of restaurateur Rick Stein can be seen in the port, as well as vacationers take a trip from long distances to eat at his dining establishment and also cafés. This has caused the community being referred to as "Padstein", by food writers in the British media. However, the boom in the popularity of the port has actually created house price inflation both in the port and bordering areas, as individuals purchase homes to stay in, or as 2nd or holiday houses. This has suggested significant numbers of citizens can not manage to buy building in the location, with costs often more than 10 times the average income of around £ 15,000. This has led to a population decline. Plans to develop a skatepark in Padstow have actually been recommended and funds are being elevated to create this at the Recreation Ground (Wheal Jubilee Parc).
