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 begun. 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 five nights with dinner, bed and breakfast.
Day 2: Mevagissey and the Lost Gardens of Heligan
Today you shall first visit the lovely harbour of Mevagissey. Mevagissey is an attractive old town which was once the centre of Cornwall's pilchard fishery and which still boasts a working harbour, with a few dozen small fishing boats. It has a tradition of boat building dating back to 1745. Many of the old buildings, constructed of cob and slate, bear testimony to a time when the large shoals of pilchards were the livelihood of the whole village. In the narrow streets are many gift shops, craft workshops, galleries, cafes and pubs. There are many fish restaurants in Mevagissey and, of course, plenty of fish and chip shops! Many of the latter were once the haunts of Cornish smugglers. Then on to The Lost Gardens of Heligan (Entrance Included). These magnificent award-winning gardens are thought to be the largest garden restoration project in Europe!! The Lost Gardens of Heligan consist of over 80 acres of magnificent gardens which, until 1991, were lost and forgotten under more than seventy years of ivy, bramble, laurel and fallen timber. In 1990 the inherited owner of the estate leased the gardens to Tim Smith who took on the process of restoring the historic gardens to their former glory, becoming one of Europe's largest garden restoration projects. After a busy day you then return to the hotel to relax before dinner.
Day 3: 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.
Day 4: Half Day to Healy's Cider Farm
This morning we visit Healy's cider farm, steeped in history, which has been brewing award-winning ciders, wines, and fruit juices for over 25 years. You will have a chance to sample some Cornish ciders. A wander around the farm and maybe some lunch, before we return to the hotel, the rest of the day is at leisure.
Day 5: 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 with plenty of pavement cafes, ancient pubs, top notch eateries and a fascinating working harbour, St Ives is deservedly one of Cornwall's top destinations. Returning to your hotel to relax before dinner.
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.
