This autumn we are taking you to the heart of Cornwall to enjoy the rich colours of the foliage through the countryside and in the wonderful gardens at Trengwainton and at the Eden Project, all from our base on the Cornish Riviera.

ITINERARY

Day 1 After your taxi pick up, we travel west through Devon and into Cornwall, arriving in Falmouth late afternoon.

Day 2 Today we have a visit to the Eden Project – a remarkable global garden housed in biodomes, accommodating a fascinating variety of plants from all over the world.

Day 3 We travel through the autumn scenery to St Ives, the pretty little coastal town with a maze of narrow cobbled streets and alleyways bursting with galleries, craft shops and cafés. In the afternoon we visit Trengwainton Gardens, a gem all year round, where you can enjoy stunning views over Mounts Bay from the terrace.

Day 4 Today we visit the only city in Cornwall – Truro, with its beautiful cathedral. We then visit the Cornish Goldsmiths, where you can see master craftsmen at work with gold, silver and pearls. There is also a museum, many interesting exhibits and a candleworks.

Day 5 We return home via Dorchester, making suitable refreshment stops along the way.
