Discover Devon and Cornwall on a Small Group tour with no more than 18 travellers, bringing together coastal towns, countryside landscapes and historic sights. You’ll cruise the Thames, visit Stonehenge, walk in Dartmoor and spend time in Cornwall before heading to a cider farm for a Be My Guest experience, visiting the Eden Project, enjoying a cream tea at a lavender farm and exploring the Roman Baths.
Iconic Experience
- London: See London from a different angle on a Thames River cruise. Glide past iconic sights like the Tower of London and Tower Bridge as you take in the city’s skyline from the water.
- Stonehenge: Walk around the strange and awe-inspiring megaliths that have reputedly stood for 5,000 years.
- Dartmoor National Park: Take a walk through Wistman’s Wood, one of Dartmoor’s most distinctive landscapes. Explore an ancient woodland that feels unlike anywhere else on the moor and reveals a wilder side of Devon’s scenery.
- Dartmoor: Stop in Postbridge for Devonshire ice cream, a rich local treat made with the county’s well-known dairy. Creamy, sweet and served in the heart of Dartmoor, it’s a classic taste of Devon.
- St. Ives: Explore St. Ives, where the harbour, sandy beaches and narrow streets make this Cornish town a favourite on the coast. With time to wander through the centre, browse local shops or pause by the water, you’ll see why artists and holidaymakers have long been drawn here.
- Land's End Airport: Stand at Land’s End, the granite headland where Cornwall reaches out into the Atlantic. With cliff-top paths, sea air and wide ocean views, this well-known coastal landmark marks the far southwest of mainland Britain.
- From Marazion Beach, you’ll look across the water to St. Michael’s Mount, where a medieval church and castle rise above the rocky island. Its tidal setting and position just off Cornwall’s south coast make it one of the region’s most recognisable sights.
- Cornwall: Wander the cobbled lanes of Port Isaac, the real-life setting for the beloved British TV series Doc Martin. Spot filming locations, take in harbour views and enjoy time at your own pace, whether it’s browsing shops or relaxing with a cup of tea by the sea.
- Bath: Visit the Roman Baths in the heart of Bath, where one of Britain’s best-preserved ancient sites reveals the city’s Roman past. As you explore the temple remains, bathing complex and steaming spring, you’ll see how this historic spa city first grew around its natural waters.
Dive Into Culture
- Buckfastleigh: Visit Buckfast Abbey, a Benedictine monastery built on the site where monks have lived and prayed for over 1,000 years.
- Cornwall: Spend time with Tina, the Lavender Lady, at a Cornish farm where rows of lavender are grown for more than their scent alone. After learning about the plant’s care and properties, you’ll sit down to a cream tea with lavender-flavoured shortbread and scones.
