A seasonal house and garden visit above town / PADSTOW

Prideaux Place

Walk uphill from the harbour for a different view of Padstow at this Elizabethan family home. Choose a guided house visit or a grounds-only ticket, with the gardens and outlook towards the deer park giving a reason to linger. The house and grounds are a seasonal weekday outing, not an option to assume is open whenever the town is busy.

Before you go

The published 2026 season ends on 9 October and visits run Monday–Friday. Check the house-tour time separately from the longer garden and café opening window.

The practical details

Where to find it: Prideaux Place, Padstow PL28 8RP, uphill from the harbour.
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking: Separate house-tour and grounds-only prices apply. The 2026 season is 6 April–9 October, weekdays only; tours are advertised between 11am and the last tour at 3pm, with grounds and café 10:30am–4:30pm. Confirm current arrangements before travelling.
Access and getting around: Historic Houses lists accessible parking and toilets and describes the property as mostly wheelchair accessible. That does not specify every tour room or garden path: contact the house about the route you want. Its arrival note directs visitors up the front drive because the East Gate by the deer park is closed.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children: Choose grounds or a guided interior according to attention span. The published child tariff names ages 12–16; ask directly about younger children rather than assuming admission terms. Keep children close around garden features.

Practical information checked 15 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.
