Cornwall & The Eden Project

Day 1

Morning collection from your local pick-up point. We have a scenic drive to south Cornwall and arrive at St Mawes for our first night. Nestled at the end of the Roseland Peninsula and part of Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this is the perfect place for a relaxing and tranquil escape. 

Day 2

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, today we have a short ferry crossing to Falmouth where you will have free time to explore. The high street in Falmouth mixes eclectic independent stores and small high-chain stores. There are fabulous places to eat and drink, ranging from the award-winning Harbour Lights fish and chip shop to vegetarian and fine dining options.

Day 3

We have an exciting day of sightseeing as we head to Penzance, a charming coastal town with breathtaking views where you will have some free time to explore. Rejoin the group for an excursion to St Michael’s Mount. St Michael’s Mount is one of Cornwall’s most recognisable landmarks, offering a magical setting that captures the imaginations of travellers from near and far. The tidal island, topped with a castle, mediaeval church, and subtropical gardens, emerges from the waters of Mount’s Bay. We travel by boat and spend the afternoon exploring the scenery. 

Day 4

Today we are immersed in the beauty of Cornwall’s west coast as we take in the spectacular golden sands and seascapes as we travel along the St. Ives Bay Line. After free time in the picturesque town of St. Ives, we continue by coach around Cape Cornwall, arriving at the legendary Land’s End.

Day 5

After breakfast, we travel to Boldeva to visit The Eden Project. Nestled in a huge crater that was formerly a china clay quarry, the Eden Project is a collection of massive biomes housing the largest rainforest in captivity alongside stunning plants from across the globe, exhibitions, and contemporary gardens. Don’t forget the world famous Skywire zipline over the Eden Project Biomes for those daring enough! We finish off the afternoon calling in Charlestown, a Georgian harbour, and a UNESCO world heritage site. When you enter Charlestown Harbour, you are transported back in time. The Harbour has a unique history and geography and remains a vibrant working port, with classic Tallships, beautiful beaches and great places to eat and drink whilst enjoying the breath-taking views.

Day 6

After a leisurely breakfast we say goodbye to Cornwall and make our journey back home.
