Next stop , the nearby town of Tintagel. Long famed for its link to King Arthur and the knights off the Round table.  We can cross the new bridge and go onto the Island to see the ruins of the Castle, and the Iron age remains of this once important trading post.

    The far west of Cornwall is todays destination. We’ll start in St Ives, where this former fishing village has become one of the most popular seaside resorts in the UK. Famous for its beaches as well as its thriving arts scene both historically and today, We’ll wander the narrow streets before the crowds arrive.
     
    We’ll head on around the glorious far West Coast,and on to Botallack in the UNESCO World Heritage Cornwall Mining district. Here the remnants of the old tin mines cling to the edge of the cliffs over the Atlantic Ocean, which make a truly spectacular vista. This combined with some stories of the miners is often cited as the highlight of the day. Nearby Cape Cornwall, is a great place for a ‘Cornish Pasty Picnic’ . Some of the best ones are found in this area. 
     
    Heading on past Lands End, St Michaels Mountnext stop could  be the fantastic Minack Theatre, carved into the rocks above the spectacular Porthcurno Beach by Rowena Cade and her gardener over a period of 40 years! The scenery here is breathtaking!

The castle is spectacular, and is reached only by causeway at low tide or boat at high tide. It’s a stiff climb to the top by unevener steps, if this doesn’t appeal , we can still go across to the Island or simply view from the mainland and we can tell you some of the history and stories associated with it. 

     

Day 3: The Stunning Lizard Peninsula

On day three we’ll introduce you to one of Cornwalls  hidden gems ..The Lizard Peninsula, and give you a real sense of its unique charm. Spend the day gazing at  magnificent Coves, Spectacular Cliffs and tiny fishing villages

  • Click To Learn More About Day 3

    The Lizard Peninsula is one of our favourite areas of Cornwall. A little more off the tourist track, the, beautiful Coves, cliffs  and authentic fishing villages are a world away from everyday life for many. 
     
    Kynance Cove is rightly regarded as one of the most beautiful in the whole of the UK. The turquoise waters are more reminiscent of the Caribbean than the UK. !
    Lizard Point is the most southern point off Britain, and is a great place to split wildlife. Seals are common, and the birdlife is amazing. 
     
    The pretty village of Cadgwith is seemingly unchanged for centuries. Still and authentic fishing village, the little shop sells todays catch..you cannot get fresher fish than this. The Local pub has lots of locally caught seafood on the menu. 
     
    Later we can move on to Falmouth, via the gorgeous Helford Passage, if time ,calling at one of the little riverside villages, before heading to Pendennis Castle in Falmouth, built by Henry VIII , before heading to your hotel.

    We’ll then set off for the 30 minute drive to Lanhydrock House. En route we can stop for lunch, perhaps at one of the oldest country pubs in Cornwall which is nearby. Lanhydrock is a magnificent Victorian country house estate, which we will take some time to explore while learning all about its history.

    We can also visit one of a number of local vineyards, distilleries or cider makers if it appeals, or maybe Restormel  Castle.

    Final stop is  the village of Polperro. This is a picture postcard coastal fishing village with tiny fisherman’s cottages and a quaint harbour. Strolling the narrow streets is a joy, and you can really imagine life here in days gone by as the village seems mainly untouched by modern development.
