Produktinformasjon
<p><strong>Padstow boasts a rich history spanning nearly 5,000 years.</strong> Here, its legacy is compiled through the centuries, from the legend of St Petroc’s arrival on the north Cornish coast to build his famed monastery, through the expansion of Padstow’s port during the medieval period and the rise of the shipbuilding industry in the early nineteenth century, to the arrival of the railway in 1899, which marked the beginning of a thriving tourism industry in Padstow.</p><p>Today, modern Padstow remains a working fishing port, and the spectacular views of the Camel Estuary, the attractive harbour, narrow winding lanes, old cottages and the beautiful ancient church add to its charm. Padstonians are a close-knit community, some families having lived there for generations, who work to keep Padstow’s traditions alive for many years into the future. <em>Padstow: The History of a Cornish Town</em> collates this long history, preserving the tale of a fascinating, resilient town. </p>
