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.

Leave the car behind and come explore some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK with Chris in his vintage taxi. It's not just pretty; it's an incredibly old landscape, and its history goes back beyond the dawn of civilization. We don't just concentrate on ancient history; we discover what part of North Cornwall plays in today's modern world and in the security of the nation. We visit forgotten castles; you'll hear of legends and stories. You'll marvel at awe-inspiring scenery, and you'll learn to dowse. This tour is not suitable for guests arriving by cruise ship into Falmouth. Please search for my West Cornwall Tour, "Soldiers, miners and fairies".

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.
