Cornish Coast and Gardens

We visit the charming, working fishing port of Padstow with its glorious sandy beaches. Following on, we spend time in Boscastle with a tiny natural harbour, set in a narrow ravine and boasting some very attractive thatched and whitewashed cottages. We take a journey on the River Fal from Truro to Falmouth and spend the afternoon exploring its rich maritime heritage. No visit to Cornwall would be complete without a visit to the Eden Project with 20 acres of gardens and 3000 varieties of plants, as well as its massive Biomes housing the largest rainforest in captivity and a huge indoor garden with a Mediterranean climate.
