GUIDED TOURS IN CORNWALL WITH ABSOLUTOURS

Explore Cornwall’s culture, heritage and traditions on scenic tours that meander along countryside and coastal routes with choice of preferred stops and visits.

Spend time in North Cornwall where Bodmin Moor tales mystify. Recognise narrow, steeply winding streets in Port Isaac as seen in the ‘Doc Martin’ TV series. Contemplate myths and legends associated with King Arthur when strolling up to view the awe-inspiring bridge across the chasm that now divides Tintagel Castle. When visiting Padstow feast on seafood, seek out nooks and crannies to find an eclectic mix of shops or amble up the coastal path towards Stepper Point for fantastic views of the Camel estuary. In West Penwith, cross the granite causeway to St Michael’s Mount home of Lord St Levan, pause in Penzance to saunter along the Victorian promenade, visit Penlee House Gallery with its collection of Newlyn art or visit the unique cliff edge Minack theatre. Enjoy unmissable views on the romantic route between Land’s End and St Ives when twisting along cliff tops, through mining villages farmland and passing by mines that now lie silent. Reminisce on a themed ‘Poldark’ tour visiting Truro, Cornwall’s vibrant cathedral city or request something special that may not be mentioned here.
