HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS

Eden Project   |   Torquay   |   Paignton   |   Maritime Plymouth

 

DAY ONE – Arrival

We depart from your home and travel to Plymouth and the Victorian Grandeur of the Duke of Cornwall Hotel, arriving late afternoon you will have time to relax before dinner this evening.

 

DAY TWO – Torquay and Paignton

This morning we drive to nearby Torquay, known as the ‘Queen of the English Riviera’ and one of England’s best-loved resorts.  It boasts a stunning seafront, stylish marina and beautiful beaches meandering the length of the town. Visit the harbour, enjoy a stroll along the promenade, or discover more about its history at Torre Abbey and Gardens. Perhaps do some souvenir shopping or simply relax on the seafront.

In the afternoon we head to Paignton where you are free to discover the town and its 18th-century harbour. Perhaps enjoy a stroll along the easily accessible beachfront with its traditional promenade and green.

 

DAY THREE – Plymouth

Today’s excursion gives us a day at leisure in the historic maritime city of Plymouth. The city has a great naval history, stretching back from the time of Sir Francis Drake and the Spanish Armada to today’s ultra-modern navy dockyards. Explore Plymouth Hoe, wander around the boutiques and galleries on The Barbican, see the famous Mayflower Steps and perhaps enjoy lunch overlooking the harbour or at Royal William Yard. The Box, an award-winning museum and art gallery with free entry, is also well worth a visit. Return to the hotel at lunchtime for a light lunch with tea/coffee included.

Today we head for the Eden Project.  Experience the sights, smells and scale of the rainforests in the Rainforest Biome, amble amongst the orange and lemon trees in the Mediterranean Biome and in the 30-acre Outdoor Garden discover a wide variety of plants that flourish in the Cornish sunshine.

DUKE OF CORNWALL HOTEL, PLYMOUTH

The Duke of Cornwall Hotel is a defining figure in Plymouth’s past and its present. A landmark hotel built in 1863. The Duke has endured at the heart of this maritime city for over a century and a half since. Surviving two World Wars and radical changes in its surrounding environment, the hotel stands as a strong and steadfast connection to days gone by. Its splendid Victorian gothic architecture drew admiration then – and makes even more of a statement in the contemporary cityscape. The hotel has a lift.
