Based in Newquay, this tour takes in breathtaking gardens and coastline. We feature a coastal train ride and take in two of the most impressive gardening projects in the UK.

 

Day 1 We travel to our hotel.

 

Day 2 Our day is spent at the marvellous Eden Project, a fantastic development where huge biomes house the largest ever rainforest in captivity with a breath-taking variety of plants, exhibitions and thirty acres of stunning outdoor garden displays. You can also see world-class sculpture and art and enjoy some delicious locally sourced foods in the café.

 

Day 3 This morning we make our way to the market town of Truro, where we can enjoy a stroll before exploring the town’s attractions, including the stunning Gothic Revival Cathedral. After lunch, we head to the amazing Lost Gardens of Heligan where you will be welcomed by a member of the team and escorted to the gardens. On Flora’s Green there will be an introduction to the history of the Heligan Estate along with the magnificent success story of its restoration. We then enjoy a cream tea before time at leisure to explore over 200 acres of garden paradise and enjoy the breathtaking surroundings, including the spectacular jungle! En route back to our hotel we enjoy a photo-stop at picturesque Charlestown and its Grade II listed Georgian harbour and tall ships, famous for featuring in many TV programmes and films.
