Cornwall Tours

After an early start, the journey to Cornwall takes about 5 hours with stopovers,  and you will arrive at noon. After a perfect lunch, your tour in Cornwall will start with Pendennis Castle, where you can explore the castle which has defended Cornwall from foreign invasion ever since the Tudor period, one of Henry VIII 's finest coastal fortifications. You will experience how the castle has developed and the sights and sounds of the fighting. The fascinating show about the role of the castle during WW1 is outstanding; one that must not be missed (Depends on the times and days we visit). Your next stop is Helford River that is a large estuary nestled between The Lizard Peninsula and the western border of Falmouth Bay. Its scenic beauty and marine ecology make it a well-known tourist destination. Here, you will be given a break for a cruise of your lifetime. A 90-minute cruise starts from The Budock Vean Hotel that takes visitors to Helford River villages and fishing villages, including Creek Frenchman, inspired by Daphne du Maurier. You will admire the untouched nature of the river bed. Your final stop for today is the Lizard village, the southernmost point of England. It will be a long day, packed with activities so after a very traditional dinner at the restaurant, you will check in at the village style hotel in the Lizard village for the night.

After a very traditional English breakfast, you will check- out from the hotel, and head to St. Michael's Mount, which is 20 miles from The Lizard Village. Regardless of whether it is bright sunlight, or the waves springing over the wall of the harbour, on wet sand, the surroundings of the St. Michael’s Mount change with the tides. You will admire the nature of St. Michael’s Mount with its Castle, the Garden, Village & Harbour and the island life. St. Michael’s Mount is part of the National Trust which means one of the protected 350 historic sites across the country. Please take your time to get your very best shots in the island. After proceeding a few miles more, you will arrive at Penzance village. City of Penzance, Unitary Authority of Cornwall, southwest of England. It overlooks Mount's Bay and meets the Atlantic Ocean by the English Channel. Unlike the rest of the country, the remarkably balanced climate permits a flourishing number of subtropical plants. Local and offshore Isles of Scilly, connected with Penzance through sea and aviation services, grow early vegetables and flowers. Newlyn is a small fishing port which is very popular with artists. Due to its location on a covered Bay at the southwestern tip of England, the occasional pirates' Penzance raids during the 17th century made it the location for the Pirates of Penzance operetta of Gilbert and Sullivan. As the regional tourist base and local service centre, Penzance 's chief modern functions are here. You can wander the streets of the city and visit the fabulously decorated Egyptian House, statue of Sir Humphry Davy, the art galleries, new age shops which  add a slightly bohemian feeling to the city while other visitors enjoying harbour boat trips, sea safaris and fishing excursions from the city. Your next stop is the pretty fishing village of Mousehole. Today Mousehole retained a lot of its charm in the old world. Small shops, galleries and restaurants fill its narrow streets. Situated on the inside of this harbour, the local cottages built of fine grain of granite Lamorna huddle. Two sturdy breakwaters protect the area against the force of the sea. Dylan Thomas described this pretty village as being the most beautiful village in England, but many Cornishmen argue that England can classify this part of the earth. You will explore this lovely old fishing village on foot. The next places of interest in Cornwall is Merry Maidens which is also known as The Merry Maidens of Boleigh Stone Circle. This stone circle (2500-1500 BC) is known for its beauty as well as the related histories in this late Stone / early Bronze Age. It is located on a gently sloping area between the towns of Lamorna and St Burian and a stone's throw from the Tregiffian barrow and several ancient sites.It is made up of a total of 19 stones with a gap in the eastern section common to nearly all British stone circles. Besides the normal spacing, it is obvious that these stones were carefully selected and placed as they are gradually reduced from the south-west to the north-east; they are expected to wax up and fall in size to reflect the moon cycle. The stones are placed to the highest standing and face the inner part of the circle with a diameter of about 78, measuring up to a maximum of 1.4 m. You will all explore those. Your next stop is The Minack Theatre, Cornwall’s world famous open theatre. The Minack is a unique theatre set on high cliffs overlooking the Atlantic. Every summer, along with music, comedy and storytelling, the theatre has a complete drama, music and opera programme. Today, the theatre welcomes over 110,000 people every year to the performances and 170,000 people just come to look around and experience their astonishing views. Afterwards your programme takes you to Land’s End, the legendary Cornish destination which has given people inspiration since ancient Greek times, when it was called the "Belerion," a sunny location. Land's End, (Cornish Pedn-an-Laaz) Cornwall County, England's westernmost peninsula. Composed of a granite mass, its tip lies about 870 miles from John O' Groats on the road to England, traditionally considered the northernmost point of Great Britain. The point is the most west point in England. The popular phrase "from Land's End to the John O' Groats "means "from the end to the end of Britain." There are dangerous reefs off its rocky, but scenic coast, a group of which are marked by a Longships lighthouse a mile from the mainland. Time to have your cameras ready as England both ends and starts here! Your journey in Cornwall still continues and the next stop is Lanyon Quoit, which dates back to the Neolithic period( 3500 to 2500 BC), with other corn-like dolmens, in the mainly unpopulated and treeless Cornish landscape between Madron and Morva. Lanyon Quoit is certainly one of the most recognizable and important megalithic places in Cornwall once large enough in order to enable a horse and riders to pass underneath it. The capstone was originally sat on top of four upright stones with a weight of over 13 tonnes, which measured 9 feet by 17 feet, until a storm demolished it in 1815. After a quick exploration in Lanyon Quoit, you will proceed to your final stop St Ives, situated on the west end of St. The Atlantic Ocean Bay of Ives. The old town of winding cobbled roads and colourful stone cottages is clustered around the port. Until the late 19th century, fishing and mining were important. Since then the mild climate has attracted vacationers and tourism, especially Porthmeor Beach, which is popular with surfers. The town grew up as an artist's colony at the beginning of the 20th century and remains a centre for art. It includes the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, an office of the national Tate Galleries. A pottery style established by Bernard Leach in 1920 was named St. Ives. Your journey from St Ives back to London will take approximately 6 hours with stopovers and we do hope you will enjoy your Cornwall getaway experience. Hope to meet you in other tours sometime.
