CORNWALL IN SPRINGTIME
Friday 17 - Sunday 19 April (Easter Break)
Our route to the
far west takes us through the ANCIENT KINGDOM OF
WESSEX, which gives us an opportunity to visit
the historic city of WELLS – England’s
smallest city. Wells has one of the finest cathedrals in
the land and one of the oldest surviving medieval
streets in Europe. We shall also visit
GLASTONBURY – the legendary burial
place of King Arthur, and an area steeped in myth and
mystery. Our journey will also take us across the rich
pastures of SOMERSET and
DEVON, and over mysterious
BODMIN MOOR
, once the haunt of smugglers and highwaymen.
Our stay for 2 nights is in
CARBIS BAY, a picturesque part of
ST IVES, where our lovely hotel is
situated in a sheltered bay of golden sand. It also
boasts an award winning restaurant. There are glorious
coastal walks along the shore and magnificent views of
the Atlantic from the cliffs. ST IVES
houses its own branch of the TATE
GALLERY
and is one of Cornwall’s most beautiful and atmospheric coastal villages. It also has its own artists colony. St Ives has recently been voted to be amongst the very best beaches in the world!
On
Saturday we take a spectacular drive along the Atlantic
coast of Cornwall to LANDS END, the
extreme south western tip of the British mainland. This
area of wild and magnificent countryside has a higher
concentration of prehistoric monuments than anywhere
else in Britain. You will also see
PENZANCE (immortalised in the Opera,
’The Pirates of Penzance’), and ST MICHAEL’S
MOUNT
.
On our return journey you will have
time to visit TINTAGEL with its awe
inspiring castle ruins (legendary home of King Arthur),
and the ancient little port of
BOSCASTLE
, with its rugged and beautiful coastline.
