Be immersed in heritage as you travel through World Heritage Mining landscapes with your Cornish guide whose ancestors were part of the ‘Great Migration’ of the C19th. Almost 25% of the Cornish population left Cornwall during this period spreading their culture across the world so that today some 6 million people world-wide proudly claim Cornish ancestry. Visit UNESCO Cornish Mining World Heritage sites, farming landscapes, villages and towns which local families left to find work in the mines of England, Wales, Ireland, the Americas, Australasia & South Africa.

“The group and driver had nothing but praise for you and all said how interesting and enjoyable your commentary was and that they would definitely book you again” Katy – Edwards Coaches May 2019 “Just a quick note to tell you again how much we enjoyed our Poldark day with you. Your knowledge of the area and the spots you picked for us to visit were beyond awesome. Even though you weren’t able to produce Poldark riding shirtless through the meadows, I’d have to say the day was a great success!!!” Tim, Virginia – USA – October 2019 Bespoke mini bus tour across Cornwall
