INCLUDED EXCURSIONS
Morning in Looe & Afternoon in Polperro (4-day tour only)
Step out from your centrally located hotel and spend the morning exploring lovely Looe with its picturesque fishing harbour. Famous for its day-caught fish and wide sandy beach, there is lots to discover. Looe has a rich history including the famous Looe Bridge that joins the east and west towns as well as the charming cobbled streets lined with independent boutiques and inviting cafes. During the season, the Looe Land Train operates a hop-on, hop-off service with an audio tour along the route to learn more about the town, its history and key points of interest. After a leisurely morning, board the coach this afternoon to head along the coast to pretty Polperro. The impossibly picturesque village squeezes down the valley to a small harbour where tiny fisherman's cottages and sail lofts hang off the rocks. You can wander through the narrow streets and browse the shops full of handicrafts. (The main parking area is approximately 1/2 mile from the harbour - a gentle slope on the way down but of course, uphill on the way back up).

Fowey, Polperro & Cornish Coast (5-day tour only)
Start the day in the pretty harbour town of Fowey, set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and situated on the west side of a deep estuary where the River Fowey reaches the sea. With a natural harbour, it is a haven for yachtsmen and over the last few years Fowey has become a popular destination for passing cruise liners. Take a stroll out along the Esplanade, passing the grand parade of Edwardian and Victorian houses, to the beach at Readymoney Cove overlooked by the medieval St Catherine’s Castle guarding the harbour entrance. NB the parking is at the top of the town with a steep walk down. A shuttle bus service down to the centre operates in the main season. Re-board the coach to head along the Cornish coast to pretty Polperro. The impossibly picturesque village squeezes down the valley to a small harbour where tiny fisherman's cottages and sail lofts hang off the rocks. You can wander through the narrow streets and browse the shops full of handicrafts. (The main parking area is approximately 1/2 mile from the harbour - a gentle slope on the way down but of course, uphill on the way back up).

Eden Project & Charlestown (All tours)
Visit the Eden Project - once a barren landscape - a former clay mine with no soil or plants. It has been transformed  into a beautiful global garden, which sets the stage for an extraordinary day out where you'll rediscover the natural world as you've never experienced it before. Explore massive covered Biomes to trek through the world's largest indoor rainforest and immerse yourself in the calm fragrance of the Mediterranean Biome. Enjoy extensive Outdoor Gardens, contemporary artworks, performance and storytelling. Discover places to rest, play and eat, and pick up inspiring ideas to take home on how to care for the planet that cares for you.  

Spend the whole day at the Eden Project or choose to go onto Charlestown, film location of Poldark and home to the Shipwreck Treasure Museum. NB Museum subject to seasonal opening (Entrance approx. £8.50 pp in 2024). The Historic Port of Charlestown, a UNESCO World Heritage site and you'll also find some artisan shops, pub, restaurants and two beautiful beaches waiting to be discovered.

Return Day - Homeward today with lots of memories and with comfort stops on the way to interchange.  You can expect to be back in your local towns mid evening.
