Overview

Step 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 secrets behind Padstow’s historic landmarks. Expect vivid storytelling, strange true tales, and spooky goings-on—not just from the past, but from locals still spooked today. From old houses to a 16th century coaching inn, the medieval St Petroc’s Church and more, you’ll experience Padstow’s ghostly side like never before, with new sightings added often.
Perfect for curious travellers who love hidden gems and a few shivers with their stories.

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 an uphill section after the church for a walk of about 100m. A powered wheelchair would cope, but pushing a manual chair difficult.
