Bedruthan StepsOne of the most famous Padstow attractions, Bedruthan Steps is a sight you won’t want to miss. Bedruthan Steps is one of the most striking sections of Cornwall’s north coast, as erosion has left foreboding chunks of volcanic rock scattered across the beach, and you’ll feel very small walking between them when the tide’s out! The staircase leading from the cliffs has been reconstructed by the National Trust, so you can walk down to the beach to look closely at the formations but please take care as it is possible to become cut off by the tide on this beach.
