In-Depth Information
Bus 591/594
(every half-hour Monday to Saturday, hourly on Sunday) Follows the coast
via Crantock (14 minutes), Holywell Bay (25 minutes) and Perranporth (50 minutes), then
on to Truro (1½ hours). The 594 also travels via St Agnes. Rather confusingly, the buses
become the 592/593 in the opposite direction.

) A Padstow bakery that scooped top prize two years running at the county's
annual pasty championships.
Pengenna Pasties

) Another traditional maker, with shops in St Ives, Bude and Tintagel. The pasties
are huge and unusually crimped on top, not on the side.
Aunty May's
( 01736-364583; The Coombe, Newlyn) Pasties like your granny used to make, but with a
flakier style of pastry. In Newlyn.
WC Rowe
