Step on aboard a luxurious train ride through the Cornish countryside, visiting Penzance, St Ives and lovely Lostwithiel
What we love:
This is a great trip for art lovers, with an included visit to
Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens and to the Hauser & Wirth gallery
in Bruton
Step on board the luxurious Belmond Britannic Explorer on this
celebration of Cornwall in all its rugged, sea-swept glory.
This wonderful three-night itinerary will take you to the far
reaches of South-West England to the land of rousing sea shanties,
mouthwatering seafood and vast, golden beaches.
Your journey begins at London's Victoria Station. Watch
England's enchanting countryside unfurling through your window as
you say farewell to London and sit down to a Cornish Afternoon Tea
in the elegant dining carriage.
You'll then have some free time to settle into your quarters and
explore the train, perhaps with a visit to the Wellness Centre or
to the botanical-inspired bar before dinner.
Your second day on board will see the train gliding along
Devon's stunning southern coast, along the famous Riviera Line,
where sweeping sea views unfold as you travel towards St Erth in
southern Cornwall.
Disembarking here, you'll have the chance to explore the
artistic haven of St Ives, or continue to Penzance for a guided
tour of the Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens and a tasting of Cornish
wines.
You can also look forward to stopping in Lostwithiel where
you'll have a choice of activities including a coastal hike and a
private boat tour and Bruton in Somerset, where you'll visit the
Hauser & Wirth gallery and attend a private dinner at a
celebrated Italian restaurant.
Enjoy one final breakfast the next morning as the train glides
back through the glorious countryside towards London Victoria.
