DAY ONE – Arrival

We depart from your home and travel to Cornwall and our hotel in St Agnes. Time to relax before dinner this evening.

 

DAY TWO – Falmouth and Pendennis Castle

First today we visit Falmouth, shaped and influenced by its strong connection to the sea, Falmouth combines this with a fascinating maritime heritage and modern creativity. Time here to explore and have some lunch before we visit Pendennis Castle. Before our arrival we’ll make a photo stop at Pendennis Point.

Pendennis Castle has nearly 500 years of history at one of Cornwall's greatest fortresses, and one of Henry VIII's chain of coastal artillery forts, Pendennis was strengthened in Elizabethan times. Later is endured an epic Civil War siege and saw action in the Second World War.

As you arrive at Pendennis Castle you cannot fail to miss the gorgeous coastal views. The Castle also has a spectacular Tudor Keep and a historic weaponry with many impressive historic guns, as well as a café.

If you are able then why not climb to the top of the Tudor Keep and you’ll be rewarded with panoramic vistas. Or follow the tunnel down to the Half Moon Battery to be transported back to the Second World War.

Stretch your legs on the Castle Explorers trail around Pendennis Castle, before taking a break at the Royal Artillery Barracks, where you’ll find a café.

 

DAY THREE – St Ives

Today we have a full day in St Ives, the dazzling jewel in Cornwall’s crown. A picturesque fishing harbour and seaside town. Wander through the maze of narrow cobbled streets, independent shops, and fishermen’s’ cottages in the heart of St Ives. Why not feel the soft sand between your toes on the blue flag rated Porthmeor beach, to take an inspiring walk along the coastal path. Enjoy your time in St Ives, before heading back to our hotel in St Agnes.

Please note there is a park and ride service for St Ives that comes at a small cost. (not included).

 

DAY FOUR – Newquay

No trip to Cornwall would be complete without a visit to Newquay. Newquay’s historic harbour is where Newquay got its name – formerly known as Towan Blystra – the town got a new harbour, or ‘quay’ and the name came with it!

Newquay harbour has a long history; from supporting the Cornish tin mining industry to the heyday of the commercial pilchard fishing era. Small scale commercial fishing still exists but this mostly provides the local restaurants and hotels.

We’ll later return to our hotel with plenty of time to relax this afternoon or explore St Agnes further.

 

 

DAY FIVE – Padstow and Port Isaac

This morning after breakfast we head to Padstow. This charming working fishing port is surrounded by glorious sandy beaches, at the head of the Camel River. You can visit the Harbour, and explore the town, obtaining lunch if you wish in one of the many restaurants or cafés.

After lunch we’ll visit Port Isaac which is a traditional fishing village with a vibrant local community in north Cornwall and home to the TV series Doc Martin starring Martin Clunes. It is a truly picturesque village with steep, narrow winding streets lined with whitewashed cottages that head down to the harbour.

 

DAY SIX – Departure

After breakfast we leave our hotel and make our journey home with comfort stops en route.
