Southerly points, Coves and Castles

On this tour you will experience the rugged coastline of the Lizard Peninsula in contrast with the quiet, calm beauty of the Helford River, one of the most picturesque Cornish Estuaries.
We will explore the secluded coves where Cornish wreckers plied their evil trade and visit a cove surrounded by traditional thatched cottages where the small fishing boats are hauled clear of crashing waves and gales on wooden rollers.
Lunch will be at a farm restaurant, famous for its ice cream.
In the afternoon we will start by visiting a churchyard with phenomenal sea views and see the mass graves of sailors who perished on the Manacle Rocks, the site of over 300 shipwrecks.
We will then drive through the Cornish back lanes along the creeks of the Helford Passage where pirates and boat-builders abound during the age of sail. Finally we will visit the magnificent Falmouth Harbour and 16th century Pendennis Castle.

This tour is a day of genuine ‘off-the-beaten-track’ exploration of some of Cornwall’s most awe-inspiring coastline.
