DAY ONE – Arrival

We depart from your home and travel south to south-east Cornwall. There will be a cream tea to greet you on arrival with tea or coffee to enjoy whilst your luggage is taken to your room.

 

DAY TWO – Port Isaac and Padstow

Our excursion today takes us via Bodmin Moor to Port Isaac, or you may know it as Port Wenn from the popular TV series Doc Martin – spend time wandering through the pretty village streets and alleyways that lead down to the harbour, many of the village locals are extras in the TV series, so keep your eyes open for a familiar face. 

 

This afternoon we continue to Padstow, a fine example of a Cornish fishing port with a colourful harbour surrounded by pastel-washed medieval houses and of course home to the well-known TV chef, Rick Stein, and a perfect location for lunch.

 

DAY THREE – Fowey

This morning we travel to Fowey, a picturesque town that has much to offer and is designated an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  Its natural harbour is the perfect haven for yachtsmen while still busy as a working port exporting Cornwall’s china clay. 

 

The home of Daphne du Maurier can be seen, and the town also boasts an excellent selection of quality shops, art galleries, cafes, and restaurants for those looking for a Cornish cream tea or tasty fish & chips. 

 

DAY FOUR – St Ives and Land's End

No holiday to Cornwall would be complete without a visit to the southwest tip of the area.

 

First, we journey to St Ives, through Bodmin, making our way along the peninsula. St Ives is a picturesque fishing harbour with plenty to see and lots to explore.

 

This afternoon before we make our way back to the hotel we’ll make a stop at Land’s End - one of Britain’s best loved landmarks, famous for its unique location, natural beauty, and stunning scenery.

 

DAY FIVE – Plymouth

Today we enjoy Plymouth, a city shaped by the past and steeped in history. Delve into Plymouth’s history as you walk in the footsteps of adventurers and explorers who strolled its streets in years gone by, including Sir Francis Drake, the Mayflower Pilgrims and Charles Darwin.

 

DAY SIX – Looe

Today we have a day at leisure in Looe to enjoy this lovely resort.

 

DAY SEVEN – Mevagissey
