地点介绍

Sailing west, we arrive early morning at the quintessential British county of Cornwall. The seafaring folk of Cornwall have traditionally lived around the crags and coves of the county’s coastline in small villages that hug bays and cling to clifftops. Falmouth, with its rich maritime heritage, was established in the 17th century and played a crucial role in naval history, serving as a base for packet ships that carried mail across the British Empire. The town’s natural harbour facilitated its development as a significant maritime centre. Modern-day Falmouth is a vibrant community known for its maritime activities, including shipbuilding and fishing. Enjoy one of our ‘Your Choice’ experiences before exploring Falmouth at your own pace this afternoon with our small ship berthed right in town. Perhaps visit Henry VIIIs Pendennis Castle, shop for some souvenirs or try a Cornish scrumpy – that's cider to you and me, in one of the towns cosy pubs, with Douglas Mawson sailing north to Wales in the early evening. Personalise your exploration with our included ‘Your Choice’ experiences. Option 1 – Morning experience: The Cornish coastal village of St Mawes Enjoy a classic Cornish experience as you take the ferry across Falmouth’s natural harbour to the picturesque village of St. Mawes. These historic waters, once vital to the workings of the British Empire, are steeped in seafaring tradition. Glide past wooded creeks, quiet coves, and the stretch known as King Harry Reach, where ferries have crossed for centuries. You’ll pass the thatched Smuggler’s Cottage, which played an unexpected role in the preparations of American troops ahead of the D-Day landings. Look out for the imposing St. Mawes Castle, one of the coastal forts built by Henry VIII to guard this strategic anchorage. On arrival in the peaceful harbour village of St. Mawes, enjoy some free time to browse local craft shops and soak up the laid-back Cornish seaside vibe before settling in for a traditional cream tea — an enduring British treat. Option 2 – Morning experience: Scenic Cornwall Discover the picturesque heart of Cornwall and its sweeping coastal views on this panoramic tour. From Falmouth Pier, journey along the serene Fal Estuary through Penryn, once famed for shipbuilding, to Truro, Cornwall’s only city, crowned by a striking cathedral with copper-clad spires tinted by verdigris, a nod to the region’s mining past. Heading west, we pass through the former tin-mining strongholds of Redruth and Camborne, with views of granite cottages, tree-lined lanes, and historic chapels that evoke the world of Poldark, while our route ends in Marazion, overlooking the magical tidal island of St. Michael’s Mount, linked to tales of giants and medieval monks. We’ll enjoy time here to take in the panorama across Mount’s Bay to Penzance, before returning to Falmouth for lunch onboard. Option 3 – Morning experience: The surprising story of Trebah Gardens It’s surprising to find a garden filled with exotic plants in the heart of Cornwall, but Trebah Garden is just that, an unexpected oasis of subtropical plants. Nestled in a sheltered valley near the Helford River, Trebah thrives with towering tree ferns, giant gunnera, bamboo, and vibrant rhododendrons, creating a landscape more reminiscent of Southeast Asia than southern England. But Trebah's story goes beyond its botanical wonders. During World War II, its quiet cove, became a departure point for over 7,500 American troops from the 29th Infantry Division. In June 1944, they left from this peaceful shoreline to take part in the D-Day landings at Omaha Beach. The rustle of bamboo and the scent of magnolia, plants more at home in distant lands, echo the memory of thousands of young soldiers who once gathered here, far from their own shores, preparing to fight a war on the other side of the world.
