We’ve collated some tour highlights, from enigmatic viewpoints to heavenly Cornish cuisine... 

 

1. Cruise the Jurassic Coast

Jurassic Coast

 

You might not find dinosaurs here anymore, but you are sure to experience cinematic scenery as you’re transported along this magnificent coastline. The Jurassic Coast is renowned as one of the most extraordinary fossil-collecting sites on Earth and spans a total distance of 95 miles. We’ve carefully selected some of the most awe-inspiring stops to ensure our guests are treated with the best Jurassic Coast itinerary imaginable. So no dinosaurs, but you will be impressed by three other impressive D’s; Dorset, Devon and Dartmoor National Park! 

 

2. Taste Padstow’s fresh food

Padstow

Padstow is a quintessential Cornish fishing village which makes a fantastic location for a waterside amble. Our guests are in for a heavenly culinary experience as Padstow is renowned for its eateries abundant with fresh seafood. The choice is yours whether you sit down to savour a sumptuous lobster, or simply take away a classically British fish and chips whilst admiring the sweeping estuary views. Finish your day sampling some traditional Cornish ice cream, distinguished by its velvety texture and unique taste.  

 

3. Treasure St Michael’s Mount

St Michael's Mount

Wandering along the cobblestone path to St Michael’s Mount feels as though you are stepping into a fairyland. It’s no surprise that this tidal island located just off the coast of Penzance features in many iconic movie scenes. It’s difficult to imagine just how stunning this island is until glancing up at the momentous castle set at the pinnacle of the hill. Become enchanted with treasures such as an armchair sat on by Queen Victoria, a crossbow used for hunting rabbits and a clock that tells you the time of the tide as well as the hour of the day. After becoming engrossed with these gems, our tour returns to Falmouth for guests to spend an evening at their leisure. 

 

4. Savour a Cornish pasty

Cornish pasty

Pasties are traditional British baked pastries often containing beef, potato and onion which are much-loved across the nation, but particularly in Southwestern England. The Cornish pasty is so iconic that it is protected under the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status! Cornish pasty producers generate around £300m worth of trade for the Cornish economy, which is around 20% of the total turnover of Cornwall’s food and drink sector! A trip to Cornwall would be incomplete without savouring a sumptuous Cornish pasty or two.
