At this time the Saints Way came into being and has a number of caches (not that old however!) can be found stretching across Cornwall from North to South coast.
During the reformation the churches control of Padstow ceased and the ownership was transferred to the Prideaux family, Prideaux Place was built and completed in the 16th century. It is open on certain days to the public. Prideaux Place also has one of the oldest Deer Parks in the country.
Sir Walter Raleigh lived in Padstow when he was Warden of Cornwall
Whilst fishing has declined Padstow is now recognised as a gourmet haven with a number of fine restaurants.
