Boscastle HarbourAs an introduction to Cornwall there are few better places to start our tour than this stunning historical port nestled in the cliffs on the North Coast of Cornwall. This beautiful town, "once said to be the loveliest town in England" by Dylan Thomas oozes history and heritage but also hides a dark secret. A walk to the harbour entrance will be encouraged but beware, on a windy day it can get rather wild but also exhilarating.
-
Tintagel CastleA few miles down the coast from Boscastle is Tintagel town and of course the Isle of Tintagel with its links to the Legend what is King Arthur and the magician known as Merlin. For those who want to delve deeper into the legend then a walk over the dramatic suspension bridge and onto the isle is recommended, where the remains of the Norman Castle and the recently erected 8ft bronze statue can be seen.
-
Port IsaacThis stunning little Cornish fishing port has been functioning since the Saxon period but came to the fore in the 16th Century as one of the most propsperous. Its probably Cornwalls' best known village due to it being home to the folk group "Fishermans Friends" and where the world famous TV drama "Doc Martin" was filmed and ultimately exported to over 70 countries. Port Isaac itself is populated with many "listed" cottages and buildings and is also home to "Big belly Squeeze" reckoned to be the smallest alley way in Europe. The heart of most of these ports is the lifeboat and you'll learn how the village used to turn out to celebrate the safe return of its crew and how the men folk of the village dragged the lifeboat upto its lifeboat station.
- Back in the car, we travel further South to the famous harbour known as Padstow, made famous by TV celebrity chef Rick Stein. As well as fishing this port has commercial activities including dredging and is home to Rick Steins' world renowned Cookery School. Across the estuary from Padstow you can see the town of Rock which is home to the rich and famous including another of our revered chefs Gordon Ramsey. (pass by)

Possibly one of the most breath-taking stretches of coastline in Cornwall. Now under the watchful eye of the National Trust, the small group of building here used to be home to one of the most precarious tin and copper mines. The counting house is now a National Trust shop ideal if you want to purchase a gift or present to remember the day, and the stables a well stocked cafe where if we arrive in time a "cream tea" from here can rarely be bettered (but please put the jam on first!). A short walk to the cliffs is a must and is one of the best photo opportunities of the day.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
