Iconic Experience
- London: See London from a different angle on a Thames River cruise. Glide past iconic sights like the Tower of London and Tower Bridge as you take in the city’s skyline from the water.
- Stonehenge: Walk around the strange and awe-inspiring megaliths that have reputedly stood for 5,000 years.
- Dartmoor National Park: Take a walk through Wistman’s Wood, one of Dartmoor’s most distinctive landscapes. Explore an ancient woodland that feels unlike anywhere else on the moor and reveals a wilder side of Devon’s scenery.
- Dartmoor: Stop in Postbridge for Devonshire ice cream, a rich local treat made with the county’s well-known dairy. Creamy, sweet and served in the heart of Dartmoor, it’s a classic taste of Devon.
- St. Ives: Explore St. Ives, where the harbour, sandy beaches and narrow streets make this Cornish town a favourite on the coast. With time to wander through the centre, browse local shops or pause by the water, you’ll see why artists and holidaymakers have long been drawn here.
- Land's End Airport: Stand at Land’s End, the granite headland where Cornwall reaches out into the Atlantic. With cliff-top paths, sea air and wide ocean views, this well-known coastal landmark marks the far southwest of mainland Britain.
- From Marazion Beach, you’ll look across the water to St. Michael’s Mount, where a medieval church and castle rise above the rocky island. Its tidal setting and position just off Cornwall’s south coast make it one of the region’s most recognisable sights.
- Cornwall: Wander the cobbled lanes of Port Isaac, the real-life setting for the beloved British TV series Doc Martin. Spot filming locations, take in harbour views and enjoy time at your own pace, whether it’s browsing shops or relaxing with a cup of tea by the sea.
- Bath: Visit the Roman Baths in the heart of Bath, where one of Britain’s best-preserved ancient sites reveals the city’s Roman past. As you explore the temple remains, bathing complex and steaming spring, you’ll see how this historic spa city first grew around its natural waters.
Dive Into Culture
- Buckfastleigh: Visit Buckfast Abbey, a Benedictine monastery built on the site where monks have lived and prayed for over 1,000 years.
- Cornwall: Spend time with Tina, the Lavender Lady, at a Cornish farm where rows of lavender are grown for more than their scent alone. After learning about the plant’s care and properties, you’ll sit down to a cream tea with lavender-flavoured shortbread and scones.

Collapse allWelcome to London
Welcome to London, home to Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and the Thames, which winds through the heart of the city. After arriving at your hotel, meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers before seeing the capital from the water on a Thames river cruise. Pass some of London’s most recognisable sights and get your first sense of the city’s scale, history and energy. Later, join your small group for dinner and get to know the people sharing your journey.
Ancient England to Devon’s Coast
Leave London behind and travel across southern England to Stonehenge, the prehistoric stone circle on Salisbury Plain. Your journey continues to Buckfast Abbey, home to a Benedictine community in the Dart Valley. On arrival in Plymouth, your Travel Director will show you around this historic port city, known for its naval connections, harbour setting and seafaring past. Your evening is free to explore more of Plymouth, or you can choose an Optional Experience with gin tasting and dinner at the former distillery of Plymouth Gin.
Through the Moors of Devon
Spend more time in Plymouth or join an Optional Experience on a harbour cruise before heading inland to Dartmoor National Park. Here, the landscape opens out into wide moorland, granite tors and villages that have long been part of rural Devon life. In Yelverton, you’ll stop for lunch and time to explore before continuing to Wistman’s Wood, where you’ll walk with your small group through one of Dartmoor’s most distinctive landscapes, known for twisted oak trees, moss-covered rocks and low branches. In Postbridge, you’ll see the old clapper bridge, one of Dartmoor’s best-known historic landmarks. Then enjoy Devonshire ice cream, a local favourite. Your day ends at Bovey Castle, your Stays with Stories experience on the edge of the moor.
Cross into Cornwall
Cross into Cornwall and begin at the Eden Project, for your MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience that introduces vast biomes, global plant collections and their work on conservation and the future of the planet. Then join Georgie and Cam at Tonley Farm for your Be My Guest experience, with a picnic lunch and cider tasting that brings you closer to local produce and life in the Cornish countryside. Take an orientation drive through Falmouth, where the harbour, historic docks and Pendennis Castle point to the town’s long maritime history. This evening, you’re free to explore the town or head out for a walk by the beach.
The Edge of England
Spend the day exploring Cornwall’s western coast, where harbour towns, beaches and Atlantic views define the landscape. In St. Ives, there’s time to wander through the town centre, explore the harbour and take in the beaches that have made this seaside town one of Cornwall’s best known. Continue to Land’s End for coastal walks and photo stops at England’s western edge, then head to Marazion Beach for views across the water to St. Michael’s Mount. Return to Falmouth this evening with time to relax or head out and explore more of the town.
Through Cornwall and on to Bristol
Leave Falmouth and travel north through Cornwall, stopping at a local lavender farm to meet Tina, known as the Lavender Lady. Here, you’ll hear more about how lavender is grown and used before enjoying a cream tea. Continue to Port Isaac for time to explore the harbour and village streets, then head to Bristol. After check-in, the rest of the afternoon is free, or you can join an Optional Experience exploring the city from Brunel to Banksy. This evening, gather with your group for a final dinner in Bristol and raise a glass to your journey together.
Ancient Roman Baths and Farewell
Head to Bath, a city known for its Georgian streets, Roman history and natural thermal springs. Join an orientation tour to get to know the city’s elegant squares and honey-coloured architecture before visiting the Roman Baths, one of Britain’s best-preserved ancient sites. Here, the remains of the temple complex and bathing rooms reveal how the city was used in Roman times. You can choose to add an Optional Experience for afternoon tea before returning to London, where it’s time to say goodbye to your fellow small group travellers and Travel Director.
