One of our members, Stephen Chidgey, has long been something of a role model for Cornish tourism, having been a regular winner in the Cornwall, Southwest and Visit England awards since 2014. His self catering cottage The Old Barn in Tregonetha, boasts a range of eco features that include a ground source heat pump, solar panels, rainwater harvesting and electric charging points.

As someone who believes wholeheartedly in a sustainable, ethical approach that provides customers with an outstanding value-for-money service, he has now gone one step further. Stephen has long been a supporter of Cornwall Air Ambulance – a vital community charity that helps visitors as well as residents when they get into difficulty. He has now introduced the opportunity for visitors to The Old Barn to make donations that will help this life-saving local charity. Not only that, Stephen has also pledged to match guest contributions from his own pocket!

Happy St. Piran’s Day!

March 5th is celebrated in Cornwall as St Piran’s Day. He is the patron saint of Cornwall and tin miners but what else do we know about him?

He was born in Ireland, in the 5th Century, where, after studying in Rome, he was made a Bishop. Legend says that he performed many miracles but this sadly offended the Kings of Ireland who had him flung into the sea with a millstone around his neck!

Miraculously, he floated across the water to Cornwall where he landed on what is now called Perranporth Beach and it was here that he built a chapel.

It was St Piran who supposedly discovered tin when a black stone on his fire leaked out a white liquid! It was this that gave us the Cornish Flag, the Flag of St Piran-a white cross on a black background, which represents white tin flowing out of the black granite rock, or good overcoming evil.

St Piran's Flag

St Piran is said to have lived for 200 years but was fond of a drink and finally met his death by falling down a well!

 

The brand new Padstow Tourist Information Centre was officially opened today by the Mayor of Padstow, Mr Richard Higman and the Harbour Master, Bryn Phillips.

We are now located at The Mariner’s Clock Building on the South Quay, a more prominent position and the first point of call when approaching Padstow harbour.

Please come in and take a look around!

As well as tourist information, we stock a wide range of greetings cards, local produce, books on local history and merchandise featuring some of the best locations around Padstow.

There is something for everyone!
