Truro's main Post Office in High Cross is now the only Post Office in the whole of Truro. Recently…read moreall of the other Post Offices in the area have closed meaning that the queues in this one are really long. I went in on a Saturday morning a few weeks ago, and the queue was longer than I had ever seen them in there. This shop also sells lottery tickets, broadband and you can have a savings account here, however I would not go in here unless I had to as the queues are just so long. A local Post Office is invaluable but this one is just to busy for my liking due to the closure of the others in the area.

But Padstow is just so much busier. It was a weekday and it was completely packed. Felt like Camden Market on a weekend. I did appreciate the fact that there were a lot of dogs. It was fun for our dog. Southengland is very opened to dogs and very dog-friendly. And it was not - like some people say - full of dogs "belongings". Visitors are mostly a bit upscale and so are their posh dogs. And they take care of them and their "businesses" well. There are lots of interesting little shops and bakeries (Cornish Pies, yes!). Also a good number of restaurants lining up right at the harbour, mostly completely packed. It's a fun harbour, but really a bit too busy for me. It's really too packed. Finding a parking spot was easier than expected. We just headed down to the main lot right at the harbour and waited maybe 3mins. Prices were reasonable too. No need to do the Park&Ride. Is it worth a visit? Yes, it is. But it lacks some charm and a "real" feel like Brixham still has. We'd prefer the latter.

Padstow Harbour is an absolutely lovely, beautiful place - and would be more so if not quite so…read moremany people knew about it. Padstow is a very touristy place in the summer, even on weekdays, and since the promenade around the docks is rather narrow, you might easily feel a little claustrophobic among all those (other) tourists. Several pubs, restaurants and boutiques align on along the harbour front, of the pubs I recommend The Old Custom House (first building as you enter the harbour from the direction of the bus station). If you're a friend of St. Austell Brewery - you can get their brews everywhere, they own several of the pubs. Everything is nice and pretty in this place, all the buildings that face the harbour and bay. You can either embark on a long walk towards Padstow's two beaches from here or take the short ferry ride for UKP 4 (return ticket, smaller children UKP 2) to Rock, the small village on the opposite side of the bay (and walk e.g. to the popular Polzeath Beach from there - Rock itself has very little to offer). Or take stroll through the narrow alleys of scenic Padstow. But the harbour is truly the living, breathing centre. Rick Stein, the chef, is a well-known figure here, and you'll find Stein's Fish & Chips, Stein's Café, Stein's Delicatessen or Stein's Shop and so on spread over a very small area. You might want to rechristen the town Steinsville. ;)

The entrance to Pencarrow House and Gardens is a mile long drive through dense woodlands, which…read morecontain amongst other things rhododendrons, hydrangeas and one hundred species of conifer. The car park is of a fair size, but would fill up quickly on a busy day. Adjacent to the car park is a shop and an area selling plants. The shop sells the usual gifts and paintings, but also serves as the location to buy tickets for the house and gardens. Be aware though, they don't take credit cards. The gardens are stunning, very well landscaped and looked after, and complement the impressive Pencarrow House - a perfect place for taking pictures. There are actually over 50 acres of garden, which include Italian and American gardens, however, we didn't get very far into them because of the unpredictable english weather. Guided tours take you around Pencarrow House, which take place every half an hour. For us this really brought the house to life, the guide was knowledgable about the furniture, paintings etc, adding in fascinating anecdotal stories in each room of the house. The house is still lived in to this day, and has recently recieved the license to conduct weddings ceremonies and receptions. Alongside Pencarrow House is the Peacock Cafe, appropriately named as peacocks and chickens roam free range through the area of outside seating in the courtyard surrounding the cafe. The cafe has a compact menu of dishes like salads, sandwiches and cake. All very tasty, but a little expensive for the size of the portions. But the cafe's setting more than makes up for it though. Pencarrow is a hidden gem in Cornwall and one we thoroughly enjoyed.

You can sometimes park right outside, but most of the time, it's up around the corner on the estate close by. One other problem is the fact that as this post office is located close to an Industrial Estate, it appears to be well used by several companies, and one lady appears to be a fairly frequent visitor in the 4.30 to 5pm time slot with sometimes a huge amount of overseas mail! If you time it so that you get stuck behind her, be prepared for a little wait.
