Padstow was and still is a busy fishing port as it was once back in Elizabethan times, now the local fishermen supply the multiple restaurants within the town. Padstow plays a major part in the tourism industry in Cornwall, welcoming millions each year to a little bit of Cornish life. Tourism first boomed when the railway in 1899 was built, running a regular service between London and Padstow and since the town has thrived on tourism.
Prussia Cove is a small secluded Cove situated inbetween Perranuthnoe beach and Praa Sands beach, most people consider its neighbour Bessy’s Cove as the main beach but in the section there are a small series of Cove one after the other rich in smuggling history. This sheltered little cove is a fantastic place to explore with rock pools, a cave and tumbledown granite fishing huts built into the side of the cliff next to the coast path. Other reminders of years-gone-by are the deep cart tracks cut into the rock where seaweed was hauled up to be used on the fields as fertiliser.
Song of the Sea Cave is located in West Cornwall situated near Sennen Cove. This is one of Cornwalls hidden gems nestled in far west more remote than most places you would visit in Cornwall.
