Cornish slow tours and travel services
(1)
As we approach the summer solstice, we’re getting ready to meet our next group of visitors to host on some Cornish slow tours this weekend.
Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been kept nicely busy with hosting coastal strolls and Cornish village tours, designing some bespoke self-guided journeys and even organising some local Cornish entertainment for a cruise ship!

Happy sunny Saturday from Cornwall! ☀️
We love showing visitors Cornish villages in all weathers but it’s something special when the Cornish sun is shining ✨

Happy Saturday! Did you know that our weekend tours always include a Cornish treat?! Here’s a lovely group of guests doing before walking it all off on the coast path!

It was more south coast Cornish villages this weekend. Here’s pretty Polperro showing off during Saturday’s brilliant sunshine ☀️

Happy weekend everyone!

We just love helping our visitors to explore Cornish villages in the spring time. Here’s a few from our hosted stroll yesterday, we just had to keep stopping to take photos!
•

Look at the colours along Cornwall’s coast paths at the moment! It’s been so beautiful out on our hosted strolls this past week as Cornwall blooms in the sunshine. Hoping this lovely spring weather holds for our next group of visitors 🤞

Happy Friday! Here’s a snap of last night’s beautiful sunset taken on the south coast of Cornwall…and we think the sun might just stick around this weekend 🙌🏻

This is what our weekend looked like! ⚓️🌊🌸
We are thrilled to be back hosting coastal walks, exploring Cornish corners and sampling local treats - and what a lovely group we had to kickstart the walking tour season!

Happy Friday everyone! It’s been a great week for us as we kickstarted the season and provided daily slow tours to a lovely group of guests staying in Falmouth. Whilst Bernard Magee Bridge kept them busy with evening bridge playing, we made sure their days were full of blustery coastal strolls, freshly made cream teas, chats with the locals, hidden castles, blooming magnolias and even a beach clean!

We made it through January! Happy 1st February!
It was almost like spring was teasing us on our lunchtime walk today - and we’re loving the daffodils that are popping up everywhere!
We love that spring colour seems to arrive so early in Cornwall and we can’t wait to showcase it all next month to our first group of the season 🌺🌼

Happy Friday Folks!

What a cold and crisp week we’ve had, but with lots of pretty skies like this one photographed earlier in the week ❄️
We hope you’re all keeping warm and wish you a good weekend ahead!

We hope everyone is having a great start to 2024! Here in Cornwall we’ve had some beautiful sunny days recently (very much needed after all the wet, grey days in December!)
•
Here’s one from the weekend to help you start dreaming of Cornwall and planing your 2024 trip 😉

It’s been another wonderful year of showcasing Cornwall to our lovely visitors - we’ve enjoyed every minute of designing your trip, speaking with you on the phone and being out on tour with you!

Happy Friday from Cornwall!
•
It’s been a busy few weeks in the office for us as we prepare for our next season…and we haven’t been out and about as much as normal! But even a walk around the block in Cornwall can be breathtaking just like it was on our late afternoon stroll yesterday! Look at that sky! 💕
•

•
Here’s a few snaps from our fun group of Cornish village explorers at the weekend! We just love showing off Cornwall out of season when we don’t have any of the summer crowds!

Happy Friday everyone!
It’s definitely starting to look and feel more and more autumnal here in Cornwall, and this weekend looks like a good one for getting outside and enjoying nature. 🥾🌳 🍁

Here’s some snaps from some of our recent walks to inspire you!

Our latest weekend group was treated to the most beautiful (and unexpected!) October weather with warm temperatures and stunning blue skies! ☀️
Just perfect for taking in the sea views as we explored some towns and villages!

•
It’s very stormy here in Cornwall at the moment so we’ve definitely not been out on the coast path today…but we are thrilled that our hosted coastal walks have proved so popular this season 🥾
•
In line with our initiatives, we love hosting these gentle hikes and have plenty of stops along the way to tell some interesting stories and take in the fantastic views 👀

Here’s a couple of snaps from a walk hosted by Co-Founder Zoe last weekend!

Such a fun few hours this afternoon hosting a gentle hike to with our latest group of guests. We were thrilled that so many joined our ‘green highlight’ and took part in the short beach clean, and the group certainly built up their appetite on the coast path for tonight’s gourmet meal! 🌊🥾💚

Looking ahead to a great weekend 👀
•
With a busy period coming up for us again, last night we had a pretty little outing to Polperro for the final checks of a tour next week - always such a beautiful place 🛶🐚✨

We all agreed that after plenty of walking around, it was definitely ice cream time! 🍦

Just another sunny day in #cornwall 💛 Although we are based on Cornwall’s south coast, we do just love a trip across to the north! With sweeping bays, dramatic coastline and dreamy sunsets, what’s not to love?! This short video was taken on our walk around Port Isaac a few weeks back - a traditional fishing port, consisting of many 18th and 19th Century cottages, this vibrant village was made famous by the TV series Doc Martin. Fancy a visit? Don’t forget we can put together bespoke tour programmes all across Cornwall, and being fully financially protected means you can book with confidence as we take care of the accommodation for you too!

Happy Friday All! We’ve been hard at work creating some more exciting and insightful Heritage and History tours! 🏰 Did you know that Henry VIII built a series of artillery forts along the coast of England and Wales? The nation’s coastal defences were strengthened during his reign and today’s short clip takes a look at Cornwall’s St Catherine’s Castle, built in 1540. After a fairly steep hike up to the castle you are rewarded with arguably one of the most beautiful panoramic views of Fowey Harbour ⚓️🌊 👀 • • • #cornwall #cornwalldiscovered #cornwallholidays #cornwallcoast #fowey #foweyharbour #history #historylovers #historyfacts #historytour #sustainability #slowtravel #slowtourism #walkingtours #sustainabletourism #cornwall365 #visitcornwalluk #lovecornwalluk #staycationuk #staycation #offthebeatentrack #smallgroups #smallbusiness #supportlocal #selfguidedtour #tudor #castlesofinstagram #castle #cornishhistory

Isn’t this weather just absolutely glorious?! It’s so wonderful to be able to post so many sun filled and beautiful snaps or videos of our beautiful Cornish landscapes ☀️, not to mention being able to sit or walk (socially distancing of course), and bask in those warm rays. We hope you’re all enjoying the slight ease of lockdown rules and taking in the opportunity to fill up on fresh air! 🌬. Tonight we are sharing this pretty sunset vid taken at #trevoseheadlighthouse on last nights walk. The lighthouse here was built in 1847 and stands at around 150 feet above the sea, with enormous grey cliffs dropping off below it! Few fun facts for you all tonight 😉🌊🌅💛🧡❤️ • • • #cornwalldiscovered #comebacklater #sunsets #cornwall #vitaminsea #walk #freshair #lighthouse #kernowfornia #warmevening #cruise #nature #seaside #southwestisbest #takingslowmoments #positivevibes #oceanlover #lighthouses_around_the_world #staypositive #moralcompass #cornwallholiday #wewillbeback #tbt #kernowlife #slowtours #dusk #sunray #cliffs #ukbreaks
