The sea-salt air tightens as dusk drops over Padstow’s harbour and a costumed guide appears — an early 19th-century merchant with a voice that leans on local rumor. You step off the quay, the town’s narrow alleys closing in like pages of an old ledger. Lantern-lit shopfronts and low stone buildings cast long shadows while the guide stitches fact and folklore, bringing to life haunted inns, a former coaching house, and the weathered stones of St Petroc’s Church.
