The Ghost Walk Padstow - Tour of Cornwall’s Myths and Legends

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 — from the past and from locals still spooked today.

From old houses and mansions to a 16th-century coaching inn, medieval St Petroc’s Church and more, experience Padstow’s ghostly side like never before.

Each walk is limited to a maximum of 25 people.

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 a short uphill section from the church of about 100 metres. Wheelchair users are welcome, although those using a manual wheelchair may need some assistance on this section.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes.
