From Fowey to Falmouth - Romantic South Cornwall

We will start in Fowey, the home of Daphne Du Maurier and setting for many of her works, and explore the many other literary connections. We will also spend time in Charlestown, location for the filming of Poldark and many other films and TV shows and a gorgeous 18th century port in it's own right. The tour continues along the South Coast via the Roseland Peninsula, often said to be the prettiest part of Cornwall, to Falmouth, home to Pendennis Castle and many tales of seafarers and pirates. Along the way we will explore several locations with literary or film links, including romantic country houses, castles and breathtaking coastal views. We will visit the church at St Just in Roseland, described by John Betjeman as "to many people, the most beautiful churchyard on earth" and there will be the opportunity to have lunch at a working 16th century watermill hidden in a delightful wooded valley. Having an English Lit degree, I love to discover and share the places and stories that inspired the writers.
