Cornish Treasures: Padstow & Looe

Day 1

After our departure, we head to our hotel in Newquay.

Day 2

Today's excursion takes us to the famous foodie haven of Padstow. Found on the Camel estuary on the edge of King Arthur country, this historic fishing port boasts pretty quaysides, narrow medieval streets and traditional pubs. In recent years, Padstow has become Cornwall's cosmopolitan corner due to its association with celebrity chef Rick Stein, who even has an award-winning restaurant here. For a more traditional taste, why not indulge in Rick's traditional fish & chips from his takeaway restaurant while enjoying the stunning views around you?

Day 3

Enjoy a free day to explore Newquay, Cornwall's premier holiday resort. Situated on the Atlantic coast, you'll find opportunities to visit the picturesque harbourside, stunning golden beaches or an eclectic town centre, home to a wide array of shops, delicious seafood and famous Cornish cream tea.

Day 4

Our final full day sees us travel to the bustling resort and fishing port of Looe. Renowned by smugglers, foodies and tourists alike, you'll find golden beaches and award-winning restaurants to indulge in. Why not visit West Looe's St Nicholas Church, a thirteenth-century building constructed from the timbers of wrecked ships? We also visit nearby Polperro, one of the most picturesque villages in Cornwall, where winding, car-free streets lead to a historic harbour.

Day 5

We return home today.
