Itinerary

Day 1 Morning departure for the journey to Looe and the hotel for a four/five night stay, with a cream tea on arrival.

Day 2 Today you will travel to the fishing village of Mevagissey, famous for its colour-washed houses. Then on to the Wheal Martyn China Clay works. As the only china clay museum in the UK, the museum tells the story of Cornwall’s largest mining industry, which has shaped the landscape, lives of people and economy of mid-Cornwall for over 250 years. Based within two Victorian china clay works, they tell the story of this fascinating industry and the people who worked and lived in the shadows of Cornwall’s iconic ‘white pyramids’.

Day 3 Morning tour to nearby Polperro, with beautiful cottages that cling to steep hillsides around a small harbour, with spectacular views of land and sea, making it an artist’s paradise. Returning to Looe for an afternoon at leisure to explore, relax or take a boat trip out and perhaps see some seals.

Day 4 A leisurely start to the day before travelling to Torpoint and Mount Edgcumbe House, Britain’s historic park by the sea. Here you can admire the family collection and the Earl’s private garden. See the working blacksmith, weaver and textile designer bringing the estate back to life. Linked to the estate is the nearby Barrow Centre shops, with arts and craft outlets and a wonderful cafeĢ.

Day 5 On the 6 day tour you will visit Prideaux Place, a family owned Elizabethan Manor House and then on to Padstow for some free time to look round this enchanting fishing port.

Day 5/6 After breakfast, depart the hotel and commence the homeward journe
