We make our way towards Cornwall with comfort breaks before arriving at our sea view hotel in St Ives.
After a hearty Cornish breakfast, we visit a true South West highlight - the bustling port and resort of Falmouth. Home to the National Maritime Museum and a beautiful natural harbour, why not explore the eclectic range of quaint independent shops or maybe enjoy a traditional Cornish pasty while you're here? We return to our hotel via a visit to Porthleven, a popular destination for artists and photographers.
Enjoy a full day at leisure in beautiful St Ives, the dazzling jewel in Cornwall's crown. With a picturesque fishing harbour and a maze of narrow cobbled streets, where you'll find independent shops, artists' studios and fisherman's cottages at its heart. If art is your passion, a visit to the town's Tate Gallery is bound to be the highlight of your trip. Our hotel also overlooks pretty Porthminster Beach, one of the town's four golden beaches.
With a leisurely start to your day, we head to Cornwall's only city, Truro, home to an impressive cathedral that dominates the skyline.
Today starts with a trip to the UK mainland's most southerly point, Land's End, for a 'must have' photo opportunity. Keep your eyes peeled for the local wildlife, including soaring seabirds, and if you’re lucky, the coast's resident basking sharks, seals and even dolphins too! We return via Marazion, a pretty coastal town, where you'll find stunning views of the tidal island and the castle of St. Michael's Mount, one of the region's most famous sights.
On our final full day, we venture to Newquay, a town that needs no introduction. Undisputedly one of the nation's favourite seaside towns and a surfer's paradise, Newquay is perched on Cornwall's wild Atlantic Coast and bordered by seven miles of stunning beaches. Whether you're looking to soak up the laid-back atmosphere or explore the wealth of attractions throughout, this day promises to be a thrilling end to your holiday!
We bid our Cornish hosts farewell after breakfast and begin our homeward journey.
Overlooking Porthminster Beach with stunning views, you can be on the beach from your hotel room in no time. With open-plan lounges to enjoy with each evening's entertainment, a break here is genuinely relaxing.
