Excursion to maritime Plymouth where we visit the historic Barbican and take a delightful harbour cruise. Departing from the Mayflower Steps, this is a relaxing and informative way to see the sights including Plymouth Hoe, Drake's Island and the spectacular views of Mount Edgcumbe.

Back on dry land, we take a trip to Princetown where a delicious cream tea is waiting. As the regional dish of Devon, there are many customs as to how a Devonshire cream tea should be devoured, yet no matter the time or how it's eaten, it's an absolute Devon must!
