Enjoy an excursion to Padstow, a delightful village with a quaint fishing harbour. Here, working fishing boats bob alongside pleasure boats and there are plenty of opportunities to take a cruise. If you would rather stay on dry land, why not find a bench to watch life go by and or enjoy one of the many eateries such as Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant.

Relax with a day at leisure in pretty St Mawes. Once a small fishing village and now one of Cornwall's most exclusive resorts, you could visit the castle, enjoy a coastal walk or even take the boat over to popular Falmouth.

Or, perhaps you'd prefer to join our optional excursion to Mevagissey where the narrow, winding streets lead down to the centre of the village and picture-postcard harbour. Named after two Irish saints, the village dates back to 1313, and during the 1800s the town thrived due to the abundant sources of fish. You'll find plenty of seafood restaurants here!
