Cornwall and Magical Isles of Scilly

Local departure by coach to Home Connect service then on to Cornwall for a four-night stay.

The magical Isles of Scilly is our destination today. We depart early, making our way to Penzance for our sailing to St Mary's.

St Mary's is the largest of the Scilly Islands and there will be free time here to discover the quaint centre with its shops and cafés, soak up the beautiful coastal scenery, or simply relax and watch the many boats that enter and depart from the bustling harbour.

Hugh Town is the central hub of the island, where the Scillonian docks and where you will find a cluster of shops, banks, churches, cafés and galleries. It has three lovely beaches; Porthcressa, Porthmellon, and Town Beach which is the perfect spot to watch the comings and goings in the quay.

Today we'll visit Newquay, one of the nation’s favourite seaside resorts. Relax in one of the delightful beachside eateries or take in the surf and spray of Fistral Beach – known as a surfer’s paradise, this is the perfect place to watch the world go by. If you’re looking to explore more, browse the charming independent shops or take a stroll along the coastal path and enjoy spectacular views out to sea.

Excursion calling at the bustling seaside resort of Looe. Discover the collection of smuggling memorabilia at Looe Museum (entry not included), take a stroll on the soft, golden sands of the main beach, or enjoy a bite to eat in one of the many seafood restaurants – the town prides itself on its fresh fish which is delivered by the many boats that bob in the harbour.

We continue onwards to visit enchanting Polperro. Make your way through the traffic-free streets, admiring the pretty cottages that cling to the steep hillsides, to reach the charming historic harbour.
