Itinerary

Day 1

After joining the coach, we make our way to our hotel and check in. Later we enjoy a mulled wine reception together.

Day 2 – Penzance & St Ives

We head to Penzance, nestled in a sheltered position in beautiful Mounts Bay. The town boasts an attractive seafront promenade, sub-tropical gardens and award-winning Cornish pasties. Next is the Cornish holiday town of St Ives. Wander through the maze of cobbled streets admiring the pretty cottages, stroll along one of the sandy beaches or take in the artwork on display at the Cornwall branch of the Tate Gallery.

Day 3 – Optional excursion to Port Isaac & Padstow (£13pp)

For our optional excursion, we first visit the quaint fishing village of Port Isaac, made famous by Doc Martin and Fisherman’s Friends. Stroll through the narrow winding streets lined with whitewashed cottages and look out for one of the narrowest alleyways in Britain – ‘Squeezy Belly Alley’! We then continue to the charming port resort of Padstow. Famous for its connection to Chef Rick Stein (whose restaurant is based locally), the town is renowned for its harbour from where you can enjoy some stunning views. This evening we indulge in a traditional ‘Christmas’ dinner with all the trimmings back at the hotel.

Day 4 – Falmouth

Today we visit Falmouth, a delightful port town and popular sailing destination with a proud seafaring history and fine beaches. It is home to the deepest harbour in Western Europe and other attractions include Pendennis Castle and the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. Back at the hotel this afternoon, we enjoy tea and Christmas cake.

Day 5

After breakfast, we check out of our hotel and head for home.

Newquay

Perhaps the top holiday resort in Cornwall, Newquay is blessed with a fantastic coastline and an array of stunning beaches, great for a variety of activities. Voted as the best seaside resort in Cornwall, it is a glorious resort at all times of the year and this vibrant town has something to interest visitors of all ages.

Known as the UK’s Surf capital it’s also ideal for those simply looking for a more relaxing coach break. Newquay is situated on the north coast of Cornwall making it a perfect base for walking, with ample variety from short beachside ambles to more strenuous cliff and coastal paths.

Look out for the dazzling array of boats that head out to sea everyday between May and September, weather and tide permitting, you can hop on board and take a memorable boat trip to explore the towering cliffs, golden sands and secret coves for yourself.
