Cornish Gardens and Devon Coast

The charming fishing villages, pretty harbours and rolling countryside have attracted visitors to Devon and Cornwall for years. In addition to featuring a variety of these, our itinerary also includes the iconic Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

The Eden Project • Cruise around Plymouth Harbour • Lost Gardens of Heligan • Mevagissey

Day 1 Travel to the hotel in Plymouth.

Day 2 A long but worthwhile day to the world famous Eden Project. This unique regeneration project has transformed a scar on the landscape into a global garden featuring two enormous glass Biomes. The Eden Project is always changing so, even if you’ve been before, you’ll see something different next time. Allow 4-5 hours per visit.

Day 3 A leisurely day in Plymouth, Britain’s Ocean City. Visitors can take advantage of the great shopping opportunities, in addition to uncovering hundreds of years of history including Sir Francis Drake and the Spanish Armada, the Mayflower sailing in 1620 and the rebuilding of the city following the Blitz in World War II. Enjoy time at Plymouth Hoe, the Barbican and Sutton Harbour, with its quaint cobbles streets and plethora of independent retailers. With embarkation from the Barbican Landing Stage, we include a delightful boat trip with commentary detailing the history and heritage of the stunning Plymouth coastline.

Day 4 Travel to the Lost Gardens of Heligan, amazingly discovered in 1991 under a blanket of brambles after 70 years of neglect. Many of the original plants have been rescued. Time allowing, we recommend an afternoon visit to the delightful village of Mevagissey, one of Cornwall’s most picturesque fishing villages.

Day 5 Homeward journey.
