Itinerary

From a morning pickup in your local area, we travel by coach to our hotel.

This morning, we make our way to the picturesque waterside town of Dartmouth, one of Devon's most attractive coastal gems. Located on the banks of the River Dart, this historic harbour town is packed with character, from its colourful waterfront and narrow streets to its independent shops, cafés and galleries. Spend time exploring at your own pace, perhaps wandering along the quayside, browsing the boutiques or simply soaking up the views across the estuary. With its maritime heritage, scenic setting and relaxed atmosphere, Dartmouth is the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely few hours before we return to the hotel for free time this afternoon.

Half Day

Today's excursion takes us into the heart of Beyond Paradise country. We begin in the fishing town of Looe, which doubles as the fictional town of Shipton Abbott in the popular TV series. Join our included guided walking tour to discover filming locations and hear fascinating stories from behind the scenes before enjoying some free time to explore independently. With its harbour, sandy beach and winding streets lined with shops and cafés, Looe is a delight to discover. Later, we continue to the magnificent Port Eliot House, another familiar location from the series. Set within beautiful parkland, this historic estate featured as the manor house and Stable Café in Beyond Paradise. Enjoy time to explore the house and grounds before we return to the hotel.

Full Day

We head into Cornwall today, beginning in the beautifully preserved harbour of Charlestown. With its elegant Georgian character, tall ships and cobbled streets, it's easy to see why this atmospheric port has been used as a filming location for numerous TV dramas and films. Enjoy time to explore the harbour and soak up the maritime heritage before we continue to the popular fishing port of Padstow. Overlooking the Camel Estuary, this bustling Cornish town is packed with charm, from its picturesque harbour and independent shops to its inviting cafés and waterside restaurants. Whether you're strolling along the waterfront, browsing the local boutiques or simply watching the boats come and go, Padstow offers a wonderful taste of the Cornish coast.

Full Day

After breakfast, we check out of the hotel and board the coach for the journey home.
