Highlights
Come exploring West Cornwall with Glenys and Chris.
Glenys is a thirty year old British taxi and Chris is your friendly driver and guide.
Come with us to explore ancient churches (One of which is abandoned.), a stone circle where Chris will teach you to dowse for its mysteries, an abandoned bronze age village, a prehistoric fogou and pretty seaside towns. We'll visit some awesome viewpoints, look at fascinating mining heritage and discover some hidden gems. You'll hear stories and songs, a part of Cornwall's rich culture which is still thriving today.
Is there something you particularly want to see that's not on the tour?
No Problem, we can add it in.
The tours are private, you won't have to share Glenys with anyone and you can go at your own pace.
There's plenty of time for souvenir and ice cream shopping!
It's your holiday, your tour, your pace, your choice.
Itinerary
Gweek
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWe stop in this picturesque little village to visit the shop. Here we find an array of interesting local produce including fresh baked goods. The shop is also a tea/coffee stop. The shop carries a range of interesting teas.Halliggye Fogou
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeFogous are unique to Cornwall and The Isles of Scilly and are a bit of a mystery. It is an absolutely fascinating underground chamber of indeterminate age (possibly bronze age). It is man-made and its purpose is... well, tell me what you think after you have seen it. Chris, your guide, will lend you a little torch so you can go off and explore the subterranean passageways.Lizard
2 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeOur first stop on The Lizard Peninsula is At The Lizard Windmill. Situated in a nature reserve, this windmill is over 400 years old. Marvel at the views whilst your guide tells you the tale of The Windmill Gang. Next, we visit Lizard Town itself. Explore the many little shops but don't ignore the architecture of the pretty buildings. We then go down to Lizard Point, Britain's most southerly point. We may see seals playing in the water as we enjoy the views.Marazion
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWe stop at a viewpoint to look at the famous St. Michael's Mount and Mounts Bay from a high vantage point. We pass through the beautiful little village of Marazion on the way to Penwith. Of course, if you want to actually visit the island, that's fine. It's your tour, your day, your holiday. We can do whatever you like.St. Michael's Mount
2 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedYou'll stroll along the causeway (Or get the boat if the tide is in.) to access the island and explore the castle. An entry fee applies to access the castle and the grounds. At the time of writing it is £15, but check the website (www.stmichaelsmount.co.uk) to check for yourself.Chysauster Ancient Village
1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedUp above Penzance, we discover Penwith. Many describe this area as "True Cornwall". Spectacular scenery, ancient monuments, and a UNESCO World Heritage site on account of its mining history. Firstly we visit Chysausester: A c2300-year-old village. Unique for its layout and state of preservation, this type of courtyard house is peculiar to Cornwall and The Isles of Scilly. Said to be the oldest village street in the UK. Entry fees apply from £7.50Men-an-tol
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeWe take a little stroll along a farm track and into a field to see The Men An Tol or The Holed Stone. Used for many and various peculiar purposes including healing. The magic of this stone is said to be from the doing of a good fairy.Geevor Tin Mine
3 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedYou can't come to West Cornwall and not visit Geevor Tin Mine. Some mine workings date back to the 17th century. Mining stopped here in 1990. The heritage center opened three years later. You'll see inside the ore processing plant and the "dry" where the miners got ready for work. Look down the shaft where the cages took the men to the working levels. Go underground into the Wheal Mexico mine. Look at the exhibits in the museum. Talk to the guides who were miners when the mine was in production. Entry to the complex costs £19.00.Levant, Botallack and the Crowns Trail
20 minsAdmission Ticket FreeA short ride takes us to Botallack to look at the famous Crowns Engine Houses, perched spectacularly at the water's edge. We'll look at The Count House and have a chat about a famous singer who performed there. (The Count House is where the miners would have collected their wages and where other mine administration would have been carried out.)Cape Cornwall
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeLeaving Botallack we go to look at Cape Cornwall and the monument there (you will be amazed at what the monument is for. I was!) and then a look at Ballowall Barrow, a 10,000-year-old burial chamber. We then head back to Falmouth for a look at Pendennis Castle.Pendennis Castle
1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedDepending on where Glenys and I have picked you up from we can also visit Pendennis Castle at some point. Construction of Pendennis Castle began in the 1540s, it was modernized several times and saw action in World War two. After over 400 years of service, Pendennis was decommissioned in 1956 and opened to the public a year later. Admission is £12.50.
