Day One – Travel to our hotel in Plymouth with comfort stops en route.

Day Two – A long but worthwhile day to the world famous Eden Project.  This unique regeneration project has transformed a scar on the landscape into a global garden featuring two enormous glass biohomes.  The Eden Project is always changing so even if you’ve been before, you’ll see something different next time.

Day Three – Today you can choose to spend some free-time in Plymouth (travel costs not included) or join us on an excursion to the lovely coastal villages of Looe and Polperro in Cornwall.

Day Four – Today we travel to the Lost Gardens of Heligan, amazingly discovered in 1991 under a blanket of brambles after 70 years of neglect.  Many of the original plants have been rescued.  We then spend the afternoon exploring the quaint fishing villages of Mevagissey and Fowey and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Day Five – After checking out of the hotel we embark on our homeward journey with comfort stops en-route.
