Cornwall’s mild climate and rich horticultural history make it a prime destination for garden lovers. We visit the iconic biomes at the Eden Project, the restored Victorian gardens at The Lost Gardens of Heligan, and the subtropical Trebah Garden. These magical Cornish gardens are home to some of the most exciting, rare, and beautiful plants and trees in the British Isles. We also enjoy pretty St Ives and our base in Newquay, adding some traditional Cornish flavour to this fascinating break.

We enjoy an excursion to the tranquil haven of Trebah Garden – a subtropical paradise set against a stunning coastal backdrop. Spanning 26 acres with over four miles of footpaths, the gardens are filled with exotic blooms and vibrant tunnels of colour leading down to a secluded beach on the Helford River.
We also visit the maritime town of Falmouth, gateway to the beautiful Fal River, which flows through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You will have free time to explore before returning to the hotel.
Today we enjoy an included visit to the picturesque town of St Ives. With its cobbled streets, charming harbour, and unmistakable Cornish character, it’s the perfect spot to experience the sights and sounds of the county. Take time to browse the independent shops, admire the coastal views, and perhaps treat yourself to a traditional cream tea or a scoop of Cornish ice cream along the way.
Spend the day exploring Newquay at your own pace, or join our optional excursion to the bustling seaside resort of Looe and the charming village of Polperro. Wander through Polperro’s winding, traffic-free streets to its picturesque historic harbour and experience the very best of traditional Cornwall.

Today we visit the magnificent Eden Project, one of Cornwall’s most iconic attractions.

With vast exhibits and inspiring displays, it’s easy to see why visitors travel from across the globe to experience this remarkable site.
Spend the day relaxing at the hotel or exploring the popular resort of Newquay, perched on Cornwall’s stunning Atlantic Coast and framed by seven miles of golden beaches. As one of the nation’s favourite seaside towns, it offers a laid-back charm year-round and, in summer, becomes a haven for surfers drawn to the world-famous Fistral Beach.
Visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan, a spectacular 80-acre estate filled with wonders such as The Jungle and The Lost Valley. Bursting with vibrant foliage, blooming rhododendrons, and ancient woodlands, these enchanting gardens offer a unique atmosphere that inspires both seasoned gardeners and casual visitors alike.
