Your Accommodation
Rosemundy House Hotel
St Agnes, Cornwall, TR5 0UF.
Tel: 01872 552101
The hotel has been a favourite of ours since we first visited in the year 2000. This very private hotel has been family run for years and has a very relaxing and comfortable air about it.
Beautiful quiet lounges for relaxing, superb Tom Noggi Restaurant with excellent cuisine, well equipped comfortable bedrooms with bath or shower. Set in its own grounds in the centre of St. Agnes.
The village is set back from the cliffs by three-quarters of a mile; Trevaunance Cove is the nearest thing to a sheltered harbour that this inhospitable coast affords. Strewn with old mine workings, copper and tin ore were once shipped from the cove.
Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Depart Local Area
After boarding your luxury coach, your holiday has now started. You start your journey by travelling westward with stops en-route for lunch. Continuing your journey through beautiful countryside, to the Cornish town of St. Agnes and the Rosemundy House Hotel where you shall spend the next 5 nights with dinner, bed and breakfast.
Day 2: Port Isaac
Today we spend time on the north Cornish coast. We travel to Port Isaac, a traditional fishing village with a vibrant local community and home to the TV series Doc Martin starring Martin Clunes. It's a truly picturesque village with narrow winding streets lined with whitewashed cottages that head down to the harbour where you can watch local fishermen landing their daily catch of fish, crab and lobsters. (Its downhill from coach drop off point).
From here we travel to the Healy's Cider Farm. Healy's is a working cider farm steeped in history, which has been brewing award- winning ciders, wines, and fruit juices for over 25 years. We then return back to the hotel to relax before dinner.
Day 3: Lands End
Land's End is mainland Britain's most south-westerly point and one of the country's most famous landmarks. From the 200 foot high granite cliffs that raise out of the Atlantic Ocean you can gaze across to the Longships Lighthouse, the Isles of Scilly twenty eight miles away and beyond that, North America.
Returning via St. Ives. Until her death Barbara Hepworth was the leading light in a famous artist's community that lived and worked in this attractive and very popular fishing village. Quaint old houses and winding alleys cluster beneath the 120ft rough-hewn granite spire of the church, a fine building dating from 15th century. From here we return back to the hotel.
Day 4: Eden Project
Today is a full day's visit to the Eden Project. (Admission included). Millions have already visited this 35-acre crater overlooking St. Austell Bay, a phenomenal success. The awesome geodesic structures are the world's largest greenhouses, accommodating a fascinating array of plants from everywhere - tropics, rainforests, Oceania, the Mediterranean - and outside, whatever grows under the warm Cornish sun.
Not to be overlooked is the Eden Project's role as a new scientific institute and forum for the 21st Century, a centre of communication, education and participation. After a great day out, we return to our hotel for our evening meal.
Day 5: Bodmin Jail (Half Day)
This morning you will take a trip to Bodmin Jail (included). As with most old prisons, Bodmin Jail has a dark history. 55 executions took place within its formidable walls for crimes such as rape, murder and theft. Eight of these were woman. You can immerse yourself in Cornwall's dark history in the new 'Dark Walk' with state of the art theatrical effects that bring some of the grimmest stories vividly to life. There is also a cafe and shop on site. You will then return back to the hotel.
Day 6: Day of Departure
After a hearty breakfast and cases have been loaded onto the coach, it is time to say farewell to your hosts at the Rosemundy House Hotel. Retracing your steps, with comfort stops en-route. You will arrive in your local area late afternoon, early evening.
