09:30: Kynance Cove
We’ll start our journey at Kynance Cove, one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the whole UK! The view is punctuated by the glorious white sandy beach and the sharply contrasting red and green serpentine rock. Now would be the ideal time to get the camera out and capture one of the most photographed locations in all of Cornwall!
11.15: Lizard Point
Lizard Point is the southernmost point of England’s mainland and it here that we venture next. With it’s dramatic cliffs, shaped over the years by the crashing waves of the Atlantic, Lizard Point is the classic backdrop of authentic Cornish coastal scenery.
Perhaps the highlight though, is the Lizard Point Lighthouse. Built in 1751, the lighthouse is still guiding visiting ships away from the dangers of this stunning but treacherous coastline to this day.
12.15: Cadgwith
Next up, we set course for Cadgwith, an idyllic Cornish fishing village seemingly forgotten by the 21st century. Let the overwhelming feeling of nostalgia wash over you as you marvel at the beautifully rugged scenery and authentic local colour on show.
This is where we will stop for lunch (not included), with a selection of local pubs and cafes to choose from. The fresh fish in the lo9cal pub was probably landed at the Cove this very morning!
14.00: Helford River
After lunch, we leave Cadgwith to navigate our way around the small streams and creeks that make up Helford River. Peaceful and picturesque, the river also boasts a wealth of marine wildlife and is home to a wide variety of fascinating bird species.
15.00: Falmouth
The final leg of the tour is Falmouth, a town steeped in fascinating maritime heritage and one of the South West’s leading cultural destinations. With its eclectic blend of history and modern creativity, Falmouth is a hub of activity and the ideal way to end the day.
