On this small-group tour from London to the counties of Devon and Cornwall, your guide will tell you interesting historical facts and stories about the area and show you beautiful towns, famous sights and breathtaking landscapes you’ll never forget.

On your second day, visit mystic Dartmoor, where you’ll hear spooky stories from your guide, and Tavistock, a beautiful small town. Spend the afternoon and evening in Exeter.

Day 3 offers the beauty of Cornwall. Visit the civil parish of Launceston, the Bodmin moor, Golitha Falls, St Neats church and Tintagel Castle. End the day in Falmouth, where you’ll stay for two more nights.

On your fourth day, visit the island of St Michaels Mount and beautiful Minack Theatre. Also visit the village of Mousehole and the white sandy beaches of Porthcurno and Penzance. Move on to Land's End, before you head back to Falmouth.

On Day 5, visit the Eden Project, a popular attraction that is home to the world's largest greenhouse. Return to London in the evening.
