In this itinerary, an effort has been made to keep away from the busier places except where necessary for overnight stays and even these have been chosen with care. The essence of Cornwall has been captured in terms of history, tin mining and unusual flora. There are several visits which have an entrance fee - but each of them are unique of their kind, and well worth a visit:
- Lost Gardens of Heligan - featured in a six part BBC documentary
- The Eden Project - widely publicised when it opened
- Tate Gallery - the building itself is a work of art, situated on the coast of St Ives
The whole of Cornwall is extremely picturesque and great pleasure will be derived from merely driving along from one place to another - of course, stops can be made along the way for viewing and for taking photographs.
A typical tour would start in Plymouth (Devon), continuing to Looe, Polperro, St. Austell, Fowey, St. Mawes and an overnight stop in Truro. The first stop on day two would be Penryn then Perthleven, St. Michael’s Mount, Penzance, Mousehole and Lands End. Day three commences with St. Ives (Tate Gallery is situated here), St. Agnes, Newquay, Tintagel, Boscastle, Bude and Padstow.
Wales has it all. Its smallness is it's virtue; constant change is a special delight. From pre-historic tombs to modern steel and glass buildings; from verdant, wooded vales to rugged, high cloud-shrouded mountains; from industry-scarred, steep-sided crowded valleys (fast being reclaimed) to its vast stretches of empty moorland; and from tiny, ancient villages to vibrant, exciting cities. In Cardiff, it has one of the world's newest, all-weather sports stadium, built to host the 1999 Rugby World Cup.
The Tour of Wales is divided into six sections: Region one, the Northeast; Region two, the Northwest; Region three, Mid-Wales; Region four, Swansea and the Southwest; Region five, Cardiff and the Valleys; and Region six; the Southeast. Each area is unique and offers constantly changing views; each area provides a fascinating contrast in language, landscape, activities and opportunities for leisure, but all somehow are unmistakably Welsh.
