    Itinerary


    Day 1

    Enjoy a leisurely journey travelling to Devon, arriving late afternoon at the Copthorne Plymouth for 4 nights stay with dinner, bed & breakfast. A welcome tea/coffee and biscuits are served on arrival.

    Day 2

    After breakfast this morning we journey to Pencarrow House and Gardens, a Georgian mansion that is still lived in by the same family who settled here in the 1500s. We enjoy a guided tour of the house learning the history and heritage of the Molesworth family. There is then free time to explore the delightful gardens at leisure. Later in the afternoon, we make our way to Looe. The popular seaside town of Looe can keep visitors entertained all year round and retains its character as a bustling working fishing port.

    Day 3

    The day is free for you to explore our base, the historic city of Plymouth. Take a stroll around the famous Hoe, visit the Barbican Steps and browse around the city centre shops.

    Day 4

    For our final outing, we drive to rugged Bodmin Moor and stop at Jamaica Inn with its Daphne Du Maurier associations and a museum filled with smuggling artefacts collected over many years. From here we travel to the North Cornwall coast and Tintagel with its dramatic castle ruins. We'll also visit the pretty harbour at Port Isaac, the setting for TV's Doc Martin.

    Day 5

    Homeward bound.
