INCLUDED EXCURSIONS
St Ives
St Ives is a dazzling jewel in Cornwall's crown - a picturesque fishing harbour and seaside town, a haven for artists, holidaymakers and anyone who appreciates just how breathtaking England's coast can be. Boasting gorgeous sandy beaches, delightful fishermen's cottages, cobbled streets and an array of wonderfully enticing boutique and independent shops, visitors are sure to enjoy exploring this pretty Cornish port. Once a busy pilchard harbour, St Ives later became the centre of Cornwall's arts scene in the 1920s and '30s, when luminary figures such as Barbara Hepworth arrived in search of artistic freedom. St Ives still retains its artistic connections with numerous galleries including the renowned Tate St Ives (entrance from approx. £14 pp in 2026).
Port Isaac & Padstow
Head to the pretty fishing village of Port Isaac, known in the popular TV drama, Doc Martin, as the community of Portwenn. Keen fans may want to head to Fern Cottage to get a shot of 'Doctor Ellingham's surgery'. Port Isaac has one of the narrowest alleyways in the UK, some say the world! Known both as Temple Bar and Squeezy Belly Alley, at its narrowest point it is only 18 inches wide. It runs from the Platt on the harbour up into the village. NB there is quite a steep walk into the village. Continue to the picturesque seaside town of Padstow, nestled on the beautiful Camel Estuary. Made famous by Rick Stein over the last years, there’s more to Padstow than just great places to eat. It’s still a working harbour surrounded by pastel washed medieval houses and it is located on one of the most beautiful stretches of coast in Britain.
Day 4 - It's farewell to Cornwall as you head for home today. Travel back to interchange with suitable refreshment stops en-route to arrive back at your home towns early evening. Back to top
