Is this trip right for you?
  • Just as a heads up before you book, this trip is new to our range this year. And while we have thoroughly researched every detail of the logistics, new destinations can sometimes throw us some unexpected surprises. More often than not, it’ll be a great surprise. But every now and again there might be a hiccup. We like to think that’s what puts the ‘adventure’ in ‘adventure travel’.
  • Please note that most of the travels on this trip is done by train. While this is fantastic and sustainable way to move around, you will be responsible for shifting you bags to and from the trains and moving them round the station. Sometimes a short walk from your hotel to the train station is also required. Please pack carefully and do not bring any unnecessary items with you. Suggested weight of your luggage should not exceed 12 to 15 kg.

Important notes

1. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability.

Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
2. You don't have a lot of time in London at the start and the end of the trip, so if you're keen to explore this spectacular city in depth we recommend you arrive a day or two before the start of the trip and/or extend your stay at the end.

After travelling around Southwest England, I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in exploring Devon and Cornwall. Beautiful coastal walks and views that combine with a touch of culture and history. A definite must if you would love to try clotted cream and scones, Cornish cider, high tea or a traditional Cornish pasty. I loved the walk from Minack Theatre to Land's End. We were spoilt with seal spotting, the beauty of the landscape and being surrounded by a range of wild flowers and plants.
