Cornwall's Dazzling Jewel

'Finding Trewyn Studio was a sort of magic’, wrote Hepworth. ‘Here was a studio, a yard and garden where I could work in open air and space'. This sentiment continues still today, as the Barbara Hepworth Museum preserves and reflects the life and works of Hepworth, allowing visitors to see the studio and garden much as they were when she lived and worked there. 

Spend a day at Eden, where the indoor Biomes and gardens cover a vast 30 acres and take around four hours to explore. The Invisible Worlds Exhibition reveals the world beyond senses, exploring how life is shaped, and shapes, invisible systems. The indoor biomes will show you sights, scents and stories from both the Mediterranean and the Rainforest, with an accessible canopy walkway for stunning views over the biome. The Outdoor Gardens are home to 20-plant based exhibitions, colourful seasonal borders and art installations.

Padstow is a traditional English harbour on the north coast of Cornwall. Named the UK's most luxurious place, the bustling town is an eclectic mix of fisherman's cottages and merchant's houses. Surrounded by glorious sandy beaches and natural beauty made up of a rugged coastline, there is an abundance of natural jewels to discover. Padstow is also a top foodie destination, majoring in fresh, locally produced dishes and celebrity chefs.  

A spectacular Victorian country house and estate, Lanhydrock has lots of history waiting to be explored. From a fire in the Victorian era, to the First World War and an uncertain future in the twentieth century, there are three different routes for you to explore, or head to the garden and the wider estate, with 900 acres of parkland and ancient woodland to be enjoyed with riverside walks. © John Millar & Faye Rason Please note that all excursions are suggested.
