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 and 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 3/4 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 coast town of St Agnes and the Rosemundy House Hotel where you shall spend the next 5 nights with dinner, bed and breakfast.
Day 2: Falmouth & Seal Sanctuary
After breakfast your journey takes you first to Falmouth. It's known for its deep natural harbour on the Fal Estuary. Shipping from all over the world use the harbour, which is the largest in the country and includes a dry dock capable of handling tankers of up to 90,000 tons! It became a station for the Mail Packet Service in 1688, and by 1827 had 39 overseas-mail vessels. The National Maritime Museum Cornwall has interactive galleries and a flotilla of model boats. On Pendennis Point, Pendennis Castle is a well-preserved 16th-century fortress built by Henry VIII. This afternoon we visit the Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek (included). The Cornish Seal Sanctuary rescues numerous pups every year. With a self guided tour you will be able to follow the journey of their injured seal pups through their rescue from local coastal waters, through rehabilitation and eventually release back into the wild. There will also be a cream tea provided for you to enjoy.
Day 3: Eden Project
Today is a full day's visit to the Eden Project. Depart after breakfast for 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 4: Penzance & St Ives
Today is a full day tour around the West Cornwall Peninsular. Our first stop will be at the ancient market town of Penzance with its pretty harbour and level seafront. One of the striking things about the town is the abundance of palm trees and gardens full of sub-tropical plants, a sure sign that you have arrived somewhere unique, made even more special by the sight of St Michael's Mount out to sea that seems to hover magically over the water. After leaving Penzance, you travel along the coast to St Ives. Wander the maze of cobbled streets with their quaint stone cottages and explore the harbour. St Ives is deservedly one of Cornwall's top destinations. Returning back to your hotel to relax before dinner.
Day 5: Bodmin Jail
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 stealing. 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.
