Cornwall, England’s southwestern jewel, is a destination where stunning coastlines, rich history, and captivating cultural experiences come together. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a lover of nature, or someone seeking luxury travel experiences, Cornwall promises an unforgettable journey. The Corners of Cornwall tour offers a curated experience through this beautiful region, showcasing its unique charm while ensuring comfort and indulgence at every step.
Explore Cornwall’s Historic Towns and Villages
Begin your adventure by immersing yourself in the quaint market towns and picturesque villages of Cornwall. One of the first stops is Wells, known for its striking Gothic cathedral and the serene, cobbled streets of Vicars’ Close, the oldest residential street in Europe. Walking through this mediaeval town transports you back in time, where history seeps from every corner. Cornwall’s towns, such as the fishing village of Port Isaac (famed for the “Doc Martin” series), and the lively harbour town of Padstow, are quintessentially English with a rich maritime heritage and centuries-old traditions.
Unwind in Nature’s Splendour
Cornwall is a region where nature’s beauty is on full display. From the rugged cliffs of Dartmoor National Park, with its heather-covered landscapes and ancient tors, to the idyllic beaches of St Austell Bay, every view is postcard-perfect. A visit to Land’s End, England’s most westerly point, offers sweeping ocean views and dramatic coastal landscapes that will leave you in awe.
Luxury travellers can indulge in walks along the South West Coast Path, where you’ll explore some of the most breathtaking stretches of coastline in the world. For those who enjoy their history with a side of exploration, St Michael’s Mount provides a unique opportunity to wander a tidal island that boasts a mediaeval castle, stunning gardens, and tales of centuries past.
Savour Local Flavours and World-Class Dining
Cornwall’s culinary scene is as rich as its landscape. In the charming port town of Padstow, you’ll have the chance to experience the region’s renowned seafood, caught fresh daily and served in delightful harbour-side eateries. A Cornish indulgence wouldn’t be complete without sampling a traditional Cornish pasty or a delicious ice cream cone made with local cream.
For those with a passion for tea, a visit to the Tregothnan Estate, home to the only tea plantation in England, offers an exclusive look into how tea is grown and harvested. Enjoy a private tour of the grounds and tea plantations, followed by a tasting of some of the finest teas England has to offer.
Art and Culture in Seaside Towns
Cornwall’s artistic heritage is evident in the seaside town of St Ives, famous for its vibrant art scene. Meandering through its cobblestone streets, you’ll find numerous galleries showcasing local and international talent, while the town’s idyllic bays and charming cottages create the perfect atmosphere for creative inspiration.
Cornwall’s rich cultural history extends beyond art, with visits to places like Salisbury, home to one of England’s most magnificent cathedrals. Here, you can explore the architectural grandeur and historical significance of Salisbury Cathedral, which holds one of the original copies of the Magna Carta.
Luxury and Relaxation at Hand-Picked Accommodations
Your journey through Cornwall is complemented by carefully selected accommodations that ensure luxury, comfort, and the finest amenities. Whether staying in a country manor tucked into the rolling hills of Dartmoor, or a boutique seaside hotel in Falmouth, each stay is designed to offer a blend of local charm and modern indulgence.
At Carlyon Bay Hotel, situated near the stunning St Austell Bay, you’ll enjoy time at leisure to explore the local area. For those seeking relaxation, the hotel’s luxurious spa offers a variety of treatments, or you can take in the scenic views of the Cornish coast from the comfort of your room.
Indulge in Unplanned Adventures
While the Corners of Cornwall tour includes many curated experiences, there’s also time to venture off the beaten path. Spend a leisurely afternoon wandering through Cornwall’s sandy beaches, explore the lush biomes of the Eden Project, or hunt for fossils along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. These unstructured moments allow you to uncover Cornwall’s treasures at your own pace, ensuring a unique and personal connection with the region.
