Here are just a few examples of what we can offer…
Celtic Roots:
Cornwall’s identity is deeply intertwined with its Celtic heritage. From the ancient language, Kernewek, still whispered in some corners, to festivals like the Golowan Festival in Penzance, your groups can immerse themselves in traditions that have withstood the test of time. Explore the ancient stone circles and delve into the folklore that paints Cornwall in mythical hues.
Mining History:
The story of Cornwall is also one of industry, particularly mining. The landscape is dotted with the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cornish Mining, where the echoes of tin and copper mines like Geevor and Levant tell tales of hardship and innovation. Tailor tours that allow your clients to walk through history, exploring abandoned mines and understanding the industrial revolution’s impact on this region. Lectures by local historians can provide insights into the lives of miners, the economic impact of mining, and how Cornwall became known as the “Copper Kingdom.” These experiences offer a profound connection to Cornwall’s industrial past.
Literary Connections:
Cornwall has long been a muse for writers, most famously for legends surrounding King Arthur, with Tintagel Castle believed to be his birthplace. Your groups can step into the pages of Daphne du Maurier’s novels, visiting places like Menabilly, which inspired “Rebecca,” or the eerie moors of Bodmin, setting for “Jamaica Inn.” Literature tours here are not just about the books but about breathing life into the narratives that have shaped perceptions of Cornwall.
Engagement with Local Culture:
Our tours go beyond sightseeing by fostering engagement with the local community. Participate in pottery classes using traditional Cornish clay, or learn to cook with local ingredients in workshops led by chefs who champion Cornish cuisine. These activities not only entertain but also educate, giving your clients a taste of Cornwall’s living culture.
