History of Padstow
In the medieval period Padstow was commonly called Aldestowe (‘old place’ in contrast to Bodmin, the ‘new place’). or Hailemouth (“hayle” being Cornish for estuary). The modern Cornish form Lannwedhenek derives from Lanwethinoc and in a simpler form appears in the name of the Lodenek Press, a publisher based in Padstow.
