Trevose Head

Climb aboard a RIB vessel and travel out of the Camel Estuary toward the Atlantic Ocean. Cover approximately 25 miles of beautiful coastline in search of an array of marine life that inhabits the area. Slow down in designated regions where you are likely to spot wildlife. Seize the possibility to spot seals, dolphins, porpoises, whales, and even sunfish. Stay on the lookout for a myriad of seabirds including gannets, shearwaters, fulmars, oystercatchers, shags, cormorants, and more. From April to July, find the cliffs teeming with nesting guillemots and razorbills, and visit “Puffin Island”, one of the last places puffins can be found nesting in Cornwall, with hopes of spotting these beautiful birds. Learn about the wildlife you see, as well as local points of interest and the rich local heritage. Depending on weather and sea conditions, visit Port Isaac, home of ‘Doc Martin’, or Trevose Head, where you can get a unique view of the ‘new’ Padstow Lifeboat Station.

Our beautiful and wild North Cornwall Tours begins with a 9.00am pick up from your Cornwall accommodation. We then head to Bedruthan Steps, where towering cliffs, weathered by centuries of wind and waves, stand like ancient sentinels above secluded beaches. The dramatic landscape here feels almost otherworldly, and it was in this striking setting that the passion and drama of Poldark came to life. The cliffs once whispered the tales of miners and fishermen, and today they still hold a quiet, enduring power. From Bedruthan, we move to Trevose Head, where the lighthouse has guided sailors for generations. Perched above the Atlantic, it offers an unbroken view of the horizon, a place where the ocean and sky meet in a seamless embrace, and time seems to slow in the rhythm of the waves. Pass the ‘Seven Bays’, a series of stunning beaches, each one different and beautiful. Then, find yourself in Padstow, a charming fishing port famous for its seafood and culinary icon Rick Stein. His cooking brings the flavours of the sea to the plate in a celebration of Cornwall’s rich maritime heritage. From Padstow, a short drive takes you to Port Isaac, where the winding lanes and whitewashed cottages lead down to a working harbour. This village, forever entwined with the stories of Doc Martin and the sea shanties of the Fisherman’s Friends, seems to hold a quiet, unspoken magic, where the sea’s rhythm is still the heartbeat of life. Travel through the area of Cornwall’s renowned slate industry. The slate here, quarried from the earth for centuries, is still extracted and used to this day, shaping both the landscape and the lives of those who work in this ancient industry. As you venture further, reach the legendary Tintagel, a village steeped in myths of King Arthur. The ruins of Tintagel Castle, perched high on cliffs overlooking the sea, feel imbued with centuries of myth and legend, where every gust of wind seems to carry a story of knights and castles. Finally, end your journey in the pretty village of Boscastle, where the narrow lanes and rugged harbour offer a glimpse into Cornwall’s past, a place where the ocean’s power is always felt, yet there is a peaceful stillness that invites reflection and wonder. We will return to your accommodation by 5.00pm. You will be accompanied by our friendly, local knowledgeable guide throughout the tour.
