Continuing our journey via Newlyn to Mousehole, a charming, historic fishing village, often referred to as an artists paradise, with a picturesque harbour, and beautiful coastal scenery, explore the quaint streets, galleries, and local shops before returning to the hotel.

T oday after breakfast we journey down to the Lizard Point, one of the most unspoilt areas in Cornwall, with its stunning coastal scenery and unique geological features, where we make a break. Continuing our journey over the Goonhilly Downs to Gweek, passing the Seal Sanctuary, before returning to the hotel.
