Top Cornwall Day Trips

Every Poldark fan knows West Cornwall’s beauty. Discover it in real life and capture photos too when you book this private door-to-door tour, for a glorious taster of the region customized to your interests. You pick which spots you visit—perhaps Cornwall signatures such as St. Michael’s Mount or Land’s End, perhaps Poldark favorite locations such as Porthcurno or St. Levan. Please note: any entrance fees are at your own expense.

I have spent lots of time in Port Isaac, including listening to the Fisherman's Friends singing sea shanties with a beer in hand. I will take you on a walking tour of the village, including the locations used in filming both "Doc Martin" and the Fisherman's Friends movies. See Doc Martin's surgery, Mrs. Tishall's pharmacy, Louisa's school and cottage, Bert's restaurant, and all the other key locations. Visit the village pub used in both shows - maybe even stop for lunch? Stand on the Platt where the shanties are sung. We also visit the tiny coves at Port Quin and Port Gaverne, which also feature as filming locations. The tour can be extended to a full day on request to include visits to places such as Tintagel, Boscastle or Bodmin Moor. There would be an additional charge to extend - please feel free to ask us about this.

Skip the hassles of self-drive, cabs, and buses, and experience some of Cornwall's hidden and popular highlights with ease on this private full-day tour. After hotel pickup, enjoy a day of scenic sightseeing with a driver-guide providing insight you might never get to know alone. Admire stone circles near Bodmin Moor, see a Neolithic hillfort, and soak in beauty spots such as Charlestown, whose harbor doubled as Truro in the "Poldark" TV series.

Unique tailored skippered sailing trips or river trips for two persons sailing trips or for half day river trips up to 3 persons plus skipper. Visit small Cornish harbours, a good chance of seeing dolphins and seals up close, sail along the Cornish coast seeing caves and cliffs or visit hideaway places up the river Fal. Your choice on the day subject to weather and tides. Hands on experience or let your skipper do all the work. Shebeca is a small but very capable yacht and your skipper has sailed her round Britain, Ireland and into Biscay, often single handed. No experience required. You will be collected from your hotel if required and a traditional Cornish pastie lunch plus tea, coffee, water will be provided for full day tours. Half day river tours, bottled water only is provided but you are welcome to bring your own snacks. Prices are for the yacht and skipper, not per person.

Come exploring West Cornwall with Glenys and Chris. Glenys is a thirty year old British taxi and Chris is your friendly driver and guide. Come with us to explore ancient churches (One of which is abandoned.), a stone circle where Chris will teach you to dowse for its mysteries, an abandoned bronze age village, a prehistoric fogou and pretty seaside towns. We'll visit some awesome viewpoints, look at fascinating mining heritage and discover some hidden gems. You'll hear stories and songs, a part of Cornwall's rich culture which is still thriving today. Is there something you particularly want to see that's not on the tour? No Problem, we can add it in. The tours are private, you won't have to share Glenys with anyone and you can go at your own pace. There's plenty of time for souvenir and ice cream shopping! It's your holiday, your tour, your pace, your choice.
