About this trip

This is a 7-day trip from London down to Cornwall, England's southwestern tip, taking in the coast, old towns and a fair bit of local legend along the way.

Expect a mix of beaches, castles and modern art, with time built in to try the local specialities - think cream tea and a proper Cornish pasty.

It's an easy-paced, partially guided small group tour with your own private room each night, giving you a relaxed way to see the region rather than a packed itinerary.

What you'll do

  • Travel from London into Cornwall's coastal landscape
  • Explore beaches and unspoiled coastal towns
  • Visit ancient castles tied to local legend
  • Take in some of Cornwall's modern art scene
  • Try a traditional Cornish cream tea and pasty
Good to know
  • Easy pace throughout
  • Partially guided, so some time is left free to explore on your own
  • Private room included each night

Route map for Cornwall Tour Starting in London
  1. Arrive in London and settle in. Spend the day exploring England's capital on foot—wander the South Bank, visit St Paul's Cathedral, dip into a museum, or catch a West End show. Tonight you're based here.

  2. Tintagel — London

    Leave London at 8am heading for Cornwall. Arrive in Tintagel, the legendary home of King Arthur, and spend the afternoon exploring the castle ruins, walking the new rope bridge, and taking in the dramatic coastal path scenery.

  3. Start with a guided walk through Truro's historic centre, then drive to Charlestown. The afternoon focuses on the Eden Project—two vast biomes built into a disused china clay mine. Optional zipline lets you fly over the site.

  4. St Ives — Tintagel

    Head 20 minutes down the coast to Port Isaac, the Doc Martin filming location, for a wander and a drink. Then visit St Michael's Mount to explore its ancient castle and subtropical gardens before finishing in St Ives for beach walks and gallery browsing.

  5. Experience Land's End with its wild cliff-top scenery, then visit the Minack Theatre (shows available to book) and Merry Maidens, Cornwall's stone circle. Return to St Ives in the late afternoon for more exploring.

  6. Wander the narrow medieval streets of Fowey, then visit Lanhydrock to see its 17th-century house and gardens. Travel to Exeter and do a 90-minute walking tour of the city, home to a 12th-century cathedral. Afternoon free for shopping and cream tea.

  7. Leave Exeter at 8.30am. Arrive back in London at 2.30pm where the tour ends.

What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want a well-organised, small-group Cornwall experience with a genuinely knowledgeable guide. Think twice if you're not prepared for significant daily walking.

  • David, the guide, is consistently praised as warm, knowledgeable, witty and genuinely attentive to individual traveller needs.
  • Small group size creates a personal, comfortable atmosphere where solo travellers feel safe and friendships form naturally.
  • Expect considerable daily walking; one reviewer specifically noted this as a notable feature of the itinerary.
  • Accommodation consistently excellent including castle stays; London base at Lancaster Gate Hyde Park is well-located for independent exploration.
