Visit many of the iconic locations used in the show. The ancient harbour at Charlestown is home to magnificent tall ships, and you can almost see Ross strolling the quayside. Holywell Bay, where the Cave scenes were filmed is quite superb, and the cliff scene at Wheal Coates is archetype Cornish mining territory. We will also visit Bodmin Moor where we can see distant views of Nampara farmhouse (Privately owned, no public access).
