Cornwall

Day 1

We depart the local area with stops on route for coffee and lunch before arriving at the Rosemundy House Hotel mid-afternoon, ready to settle in and get acquainted with the facilities at the hotel before dinner.

Day 2

Today we visit the magnificent late Victorian Lanhydrock House & Gardens (NT). Discover two sides of Victorian life: from the kitchen which offers a thrilling glimpse into life 'below stairs', to the luxurious family areas, elegant dining room and spacious bedrooms which reveal the comforts of 'upstairs' living. Make sure you take a stroll around the extensive gardens and enjoy their year-round colour.

Day 3

Today we drive to the charming seaside resort of St Ives. Best known for its artistic connections, the Tate Gallery looks after the Barbara Hepworth Museum and sculpture garden (admission at own cost).

Day 4

Today we visit The Lost Gardens of Heligan, which just 30 years ago were unknown and unseen; lost under a tangle of weeds. A chance discovery of a door in the ruins led to the restoration of what is now considered to be one of the finest gardens in Cornwall.

Day 5

This morning we take a drive to Falmouth where we join a river cruise to enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife of Falmouth Bay. This afternoon is at leisure in Falmouth.

Day 6

After breakfast we will start the journey home, with breaks on route for coffee and lunch, arriving back in the local area early evening.
