Day 1

We head for the West Country, arriving at our hotel in time for dinner.

Day 2

Falmouth
We journey to Falmouth town centre for a free day to explore at leisure. Enjoy a stroll around the thriving harbour discovering its fascinating maritime heritage. Why not visit the National Maritime Museum to see a huge collection of boats and hear stories of intrepid explorers, or take a river cruise up the River Fal which runs through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty?

Day 3

Lost Gardens of Heligan & Truro
This morning we visit the beautiful and award-winning Lost Gardens of Heligan, a spectacular estate over 200 acres featuring a superb working Victorian garden, a subtropical jungle and a magnificent complex of walled gardens. In the afternoon we make a stop at Truro, the main shopping town of Cornwall, with all the major stores and many small independent shops to be found in little narrow streets. The city's most striking feature is the cathedral.

Day 4

St Ives
Take a leisurely drive to lovely St Ives, a beautiful seaside town, set in breath taking coastal scenery. The town arcs around the harbour and you have the day to explore the winding cobbled streets, galleries, restaurants, the St Ives Museum or The Tate St Ives.

Day 5

Departing our hotel after breakfast, we make our way back to the local area.
