Overview

After breakfast, we depart the hotel for a fun day exploring the legends of Cornwall’s pirates, smugglers, and spooky encounters.

Our first stop will be imposing Bodmin Jail, which now showcases the rich, dark and fascinating history of Cornwall – especially the legacy of Georgian and Victorian crime and punishment. Learn about the local legends of smugglers, pirates and the ‘Beast of Bodmin’ at this fantastic attraction with our included guided tour.

Our next stop after a drive over Bodmin Moor will be at the famous ‘Jamaica Inn,’ which has been welcoming visitors since 1750 and is famous for the novel by Daphne du Maurier. A visit to the Smuggling Museum is included, where you can view artefacts of smuggling and ship wrecks. There is also a gift shop and a farm shop with local Cornish produce.

Our final visit of the day is the beautiful Cornish village of Port Isaac, famous for the TV series ‘Doc Martin.’ Wander the pretty streets with its old-world charm and soak up the atmosphere of Cornish life.

Overview

After breakfast, we visit the gem of Cornwall, St. Ives, with its famous beaches and pretty cobbled streets that lead to the picture-postcard harbour – it is little wonder why this seaside town is one of the most visited in the region. You will have free time to explore or maybe indulge in a Cornish ice cream.

We also call at the ancient market town of Penzance, famous for its pirates – or at the least the singing variety! Penzance is also known for its historic port and the fantastic Wharfside Shopping Centre, which is home to both well-known brands and local specialists.

We then continue to Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm, a traditional cider brewery, where we enjoy a traditional Cornish scone cream tea.

It is also a famous foodie destination, with popular eateries such as Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant. Browse the local shops for holiday souvenirs or local produce.

We return to the hotel for an afternoon at leisure. Lunch is included at the hotel. Take in the sea air with a walk along Fistral Beach, explore central Newquay, or just relax in the hotel – you could enjoy a swim in the indoor pool or soak up the views from the lounge.

Having been on 5/6 trips with Sheerings in the past we booked , a trip to Paris for a four night break, the majority of the trip was enjoyable except , we all booked an .advertised trip paid the coach driver our money 56.00E. for a meal in Paris and a night tour round Paris.. The meal was very mediocre, but as we had a good group atmosphere all was going good. however when we all were back on the coach . the driver informed the tour coach 168 that he had decided that he was not doing the night tour round Paris, as it was too light still 8.00 at night, and that anyone that has any complaints should email shearings when they got back. his attitude appeared to have a menacing tone . after a little while , another passenger with slight autism stood up and asked why he wasn't going on the night trip, the answer he gave was there are 28 people on the coach and 27 are too tired to go out at night . he then proceeded to stand over the seated vulnerable adult with his arms outstretched and blocking the view of his family in what appeared to be intimidating telling this person not to spoil it for everyone. HE HAD ONLY ASKED WHAT OTHERS WERE THINKING. On return his mother rang the customer service line to be told that the drivers were out of time , had the driver said this it would have been more acceptable , but its a lot to advertise and charge people for and then intimidate them when they respond . well done sheerings ledger . never again will i stand by and allow you to ick on a vulnerable adult. we don't want financial recompense , just to let people know that if your expecting a night seeing the lights in Paris you may well be disappointed
