A guided tour of North Cornwall.

Leave the car behind, come with Gorgeous Glenys and Chris to explore some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK.

It's not just pretty, it's an incredibly old landscape and it's history goes back beyond the dawn of civilisation.
Cornwall is littered with stone circles and ancient burial mounds, some of which we visit.

If you allow only one day for the tour it will be less leisurely, lunch will be taken "on the go" and don't book an early dinner!

The price for the whole day or two shorter days tour for any number of people up to six is £399.

You can also take part of this tour on a single half day.

A group of 6 people sharing the cost of this single half day tour would pay £39 per head.

An important note when booking online:

At checkout, from the drop down boxes select only "1". Or the system will charge you for multiple tours!

This price does not include lunch nor optional entrance fees to various attractions which you may like to spend more time looking into.

You will need sensible walking shoes and weather appropriate clothing to make the most of this tour.

This experience is excluded from our cancellations and postponements policy if cancellation is due to predicted bad weather. (We don't want to be out in it either!)
