Day 1: Following your home taxi collection we join our luxury tour coach and make our way to the Penventon Hotel in Redruth, making suitable stops enroute.
Day 2: We have a morning excursion to Truro, Cornwall’s cathedral city. Centre stage is the impressive Gothic revival cathedral, and in its shadow, a warren of back streets is home to dozens of independent shops and cafes. This afternoon we head to Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm - a traditional cyder brewery. You will be taken on a journey through the cyder and juice production process from pip to pour! Later we enjoy a delicious Cornish scone cream tea.
Day 3: Day at leisure to explore Redruth and enjoy the hotel’s facilities.
Day 4: Today we have a full day tour around the West Cornwall Peninsular. Our first stop will be the popular harbour town of Penzance. Nestled in a corner of glorious Mount’s Bay, the town is a hidden gem. You will encounter all the salt-flecked history you’ll expect from its famous name – the pirate cobbled alleyways, the bobbing boats and dockside taverns – along with a vibrant local scene. Here you will discover authentic Cornwall. Explore the winding streets, subtropical gardens and a promenade with dazzling views of the bay. We then make a brief stop at Lands’ End before continuing to St Ives, passing through the coastal villages of Sennen, St Just, and Zennor. St Ives is a seemingly subtropical oasis where the beaches are golden, the vegetation is lush and the light piercingly bright. It’s no wonder then that the town has been attracting artists for decades who come to capture the area’s undeniable natural beauty. It started with J M W Turner and the marine artist Henry Moore who first came to St Ives in the mid-1800s and since then the town has become a magnet for some of the world’s greatest painters, sculptors and ceramists. There are plenty of pavement cafes, ancient pubs and top notch eateries with mouth watering menus serving local produce.
Day 5: This morning we visit one of the gems of Cornwall, the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Once lost to the brambles of time, The Lost Gardens of Heligan have been rediscovered and lovingly restored to become one of the most loved gardens in the UK.
Today the mysterious gardens and estate offer over 200 acres for exploration. Discover romantic Victorian Gardens along winding paths laid out over two centuries ago. Step back in time and journey across the world beneath the historic rhododendron boughs of Sikkim, and get lost in the exotic outdoor Jungle whilst adventuring along raised boardwalks past giant rhubarb, banana plantations and through tunnels of towering bamboo.
Our next port of call is the traditional fishing port of Mevagissey. Narrow streets and steep valley sides lead down to the centre of the old Mevagissey where the distinctive twin harbour provides a safe haven for the many fishing boats that land their daily catch. In typical picture postcard style, pubs, cafes, galleries and shops cluster around the harbour walls and line the pretty streets. Around the maze of streets you’ll find plenty of restaurants and cafes.
Day 6: After breakfast, we make the return journey to Norfolk making suitable stops along the way. Upon arrival in Norfolk, our door to door service will be waiting to return you home.
