HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS

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 – Truro

Today we visit Truro ‘A Great Little City’, full of culture and heritage and beautiful gardens. The Pannier Market on Lemon Quay is well worth a visit, Truro’s largest indoor market, with over 40 outlets to browse. You can also visit Lemon Street Market, which is a lifestyle market that stretches across two floors and is home to an array of outlets. Why not also visit Truro Cathedral, situated in the heart of the city it’s not to be missed, with its three spires and amazing architecture dominating the city skyline. Enjoy your time in Truro as you explore at your leisure before we depart and make our way back to our hotel.

DAY THREE – St Ives and Land’s End

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, we’ll then depart and visit Land’s End, before heading back to our hotel in St Agnes.

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 & Port Isaac

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.
