Cornwall & its Heritage

5 day holiday - Monday 15th April 2024 - SOLD OUT

Highlights...

The Eden Project
Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Gardens

Pencarrow House and the Bodmin Railway 

Cornwall is a peninsula bordered to the North and West by the Celtic Sea, with a very dramatic rugged shoreline and rolling surf, and to the South, the English Channel, a much calmer coastline with tranquil sandy coves, known as the Cornish Riviera. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty, with breath-taking views, fabulous beaches, stunning scenery, spectacular surf, picturesque harbours, quaint fishing villages and, of course, Cornish Pasties and Cream Teas. The county of Cornwall is situated to the very South West of the country and due to the influence of the Gulf stream it has a very mild and sunny climate. Being the only area of sub-tropical countryside in the United Kingdom, incredible exotic plants grow and thrive. Cornwall, isolated from the mainland by the River Tamar, is recognised as one of the Celtic nations. It is the homeland of the Cornish people and retains its own distinct cultural identity. Traditional industries included tin and copper mining, with tourism, fishing and agriculture now being the main sectors of the economy.
