Your Itinerary
Day 1 - After joining your holiday coach, enjoy a scenic drive to Looe, a popular fishing village set in South East Cornwall. Check into your centrally located hotel for the next 3 nights DBB\n\nDay 2 - 3 At leisure with two included excursions\n\nINCLUDED EXCURSIONS\nMorning in Looe & Afternoon in Polperro\nStep out from your centrally located hotel and spend the morning exploring lovely Looe with its picturesque fishing harbour. Famous for its day-caught fish and wide sandy beach, there is lots to discover. Looe has a rich history including the famous Looe Bridge that joins the east and west towns as well as the charming cobbled streets lined with independent boutiques and inviting cafes.\n\nAfter a leisurely morning, board the coach this afternoon to head along the coast to pretty Polperro. The impossibly picturesque village squeezes down the valley to a small harbour where tiny fisherman's cottages and sail lofts hang off the rocks. You can wander through the narrow streets and browse the shops full of handicrafts. (The main parking area is approximately 1/2 mile from the harbour - a gentle slope on the way down but of course, uphill on the way back up).\n\nEden Project & Charlestown\nVisit the Eden Project - once a barren landscape - a former clay mine with no soil or plants. It has been transformed into a beautiful global garden, which sets the stage for an extraordinary day out where you'll rediscover the natural world as you've never experienced it before. Explore massive covered Biomes to trek through the world's largest indoor rainforest and immerse yourself in the calm fragrance of the Mediterranean Biome. Enjoy extensive Outdoor Gardens, contemporary artworks, performance and storytelling. Discover places to rest, play and eat, and pick up inspiring ideas to take home on how to care for the planet that cares for you. \n\nDay 4 - Homeward today with lots of memories and with comfort stops on the way to interchange. You can expect to be back in your local towns mid evening.
