Sights & Sounds of Cornwall - Fri 25th Sept 2020

Cornwall, the westernmost and southernmost part of mainland Britain is washed on all sides by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream.

Join us on this package to the excellent quality 3* Rosemundy Hotel, tucked away in the Cornish village of St Agnes. For the more adventurous, there are plenty of walking paths in the area with the sea not too far away. Come away for a lovely relaxing break. Very popular destination.

We include some top destinations on the excursions - sample the friendly Cornish hospitality, explore a remarkable house & garden, a memorable boat trip on the Fal River, a stunning tropical garden with plenty of rugged coast and country landscapes to enjoy on route.
