We present a unique day tour to Cornwall the land of myths and legends on board “The Statesman” train – with rugged coastlines and quaint fishing villages you will savour some of the most unspoilt countryside in Britain and the opportunity to visit either Truro, maritime Falmouth, pretty St Ives, or historic Penzance.
The highlights of this tour include the twisting scenic line around the breath taking sea wall at Dawlish – views of the Dartmoor National Park – and the crossing of the iconic Royal Albert Bridge spanning the River Tamar designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel to historic Truro with its magnificent Cathedral and bustling shopping centre or perhaps take the local branch line service for a visit to maritime Falmouth (payable locally) with its deep-water harbour, curio shops, castles and perhaps a memorable boat trip.
Our next optional stop is St Erth where you may join the regular service train (payable locally) on the beautiful journey around the Hayle Estuary with magnificent views of Godrevy Lighthouse to visit the ancient fishing town of St Ives – considered to be the prettiest holiday resort in Britain with beaches, quaint cobbled streets, Tate Gallery, sub-tropical gardens, and historic harbour.
The final stop for ‘The Statesman’ is Penzance with spectacular views of St Michaels Mount as we arrive at the most westerly station in England with the annual Mazey Day celebrations in full swing. There is time to discover the charms of this famous Cornish port and perhaps enjoy a stroll along the promenade or coastal path towards Marazion.
