Half Day
Newquay & the Cream of Cornwall
Join our optional excursion where we head to the quaint artists’ haunt of St Ives, with its cobbled streets, whitewashed cottages and harbour. We continue to Penzance, nestled in a sheltered position in beautiful Mounts Bay. Enjoy views of clear waters or browse the unique museums, galleries and quaint shops.
Full Day
Padstow Harbour & Camel Estuary Visit
Explore Padstow Harbour on the broad Camel Estuary, where fishing boats bob against slate-walled quays and sandy banks gleam at low tide. Wander cobbled lanes lined with independent delis and bakeries, pause by the slipways for harbour views, or trace a short stretch of the South West Coast Path for sea-breezy vantage points. Treat yourself and sample a traditional Cornish pasty fresh from the oven.
Absorb a town shaped by pilchard fleets and sail lofts, now celebrated for its modern seafood scene and convivial pubs. Maritime heritage sits side by side with contemporary galleries, giving Padstow a relaxed, lived-in charm that rewards unhurried browsing and shoreline photo stops.
Falmouth Harbour Town & Pendennis Headland Views
Discover deep-water Falmouth Harbour, strolling past historic quays, independent shops, and café-lined streets with wide estuary views across the Carrick Roads. Browse waterside boutiques, watch working boats slip between moorings, or head towards Pendennis Point for bracing headland vistas. Maritime curios, cosy pubs, and local bakeries make this a richly walkable port town.
Connect with a proud seafaring story—from packet ships carrying post around the world to Henry VIII’s coastal defenses at Pendennis Castle. Those keen on maritime heritage can consider visiting the National Maritime Museum Cornwall independently, adding context to the sails, hulls, and sea routes that shaped Falmouth’s character.
Evening Entertainment at the Pentire Hotel
Unwind at the Pentire Hotel with convivial lounge gatherings that may include live music, light cabaret, or quiz-style fun, depending on the schedule. Settle into comfortable seating, chat with fellow guests, and enjoy live evening entertainment as bar service flows and the Atlantic light fades beyond Newquay’s headlands.
This is classic seaside hospitality with a Cornish accent—relaxed, friendly, and easygoing. In February, an early-evening 2-for-1 offer on selected drinks often adds to the mood, letting you soak in the coastal atmosphere after a day exploring harbours and beaches.
St Ives Artists’ Quarter & Penzance in Mount’s Bay
Visit St Ives Harbour, where whitewashed cottages, studio doorways, and Atlantic light have long inspired painters and potters. Amble the cobbles to golden beaches like Porthmeor, browse independent galleries, or consider visiting Tate St Ives or the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden independently to deepen the artistic story.
Continue to Penzance, opening onto luminous Mount’s Bay with promenade views towards St Michael’s Mount and the Art Deco lines of Jubilee Pool. Explore Chapel Street’s quirky architecture and antiques before rejoining the coach. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.
