This former Jacobean mansion was devastated by fire and rebuilt in Victorian style. Beautiful gardens surround the mansion and the interior can be explored at leisure. There are guides available in rooms to answer any questions and tell you the history of the house. Discover two sides of Victorian life: from the kitchens, nurseries and servants quarters, which offer a thrilling glimpse into life below stairs, to the luxurious family areas, elegant dining room and spacious bedrooms which reveal the comforts of upstairs living. We reboard our coach again and travel the short distance to our Cornwall hotel in the nearby village of Lostwithiel which will be our base for the next 4 nights. Day 3) This morning we visit the amazing Eden Project Cornwall s most popular tourist attraction. Built in a disused china clay pit, this is the story of man s dependence on plants, people and places. Dominated by the futuristic-looking biome structure, the Project is much more than a green theme park. The site is huge, and you can experience the sights, sounds and smells of the tropical steaming rainforests area, then move onto the Mediterranean biome with its huge selection of plants and enjoy the glorious displays of flowers. Between the Domes there are restaurants and shops to browse and buy. Later we visit the nearby Wheal Martyn China Clay Mining Heritage Centre, set within a preserved Victoria Clay works, you ll learn about this billion industry for which Cornwall is famous.

Its many picturesque beaches offer safe bathing in the clear waters of the bay, while the quaint streets and alleyways of the town itself hold the clues to a 300-year-old maritime heritage. Our day continues with a visit to Truro, Cornwall s Capital. Truro has always been a popular visit with our guests over the years, spend some time shopping, exploring and sightseeing before returning to our hotel. Day 6) Following breakfast, we check out of our hotel and travel to the famous fishing village Padstow, Cornwall s gourmet capital. Situated on the Camel estuary it has a noble maritime history. The shifting sands of the port were the site of over 300 wrecked vessels between the 18th and 20th centuries, but now it s cobbled streets play host to the tourists who come to visit the many restaurants including the portside empire of the celebrity chef Rick Stein. In the afternoon we travel up the coast to Tintagel Castle, Legendary Home of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
