Leaving central London, you travel through Wessex, one of England’s ancient kingdoms. You pass through this millennia-old setting on the way to the historic city of Winchester. The former capital of Anglo-Saxon England is synonymous with Alfred the Great and boasts a magnificent cathedral and the Norman Great Hall.
Stonehenge
From this bustling city, you head to a quieter but equally profound place: the standing stone circles of Stonehenge. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Stonehenge site has been skilfully preserved. At the award-winning visitor centre, you can view the exhibition of hundreds of prehistoric items from the Stonehenge collection. By joining the land train shuttle, you make your way to the world-famous stone circles.

Exeter - Dartmoor – Tavistock

Overnight in Exeter.
Dartmoor National Park
Explore the remote windswept magnificence of Dartmoor, where you can see strings of the native ponies grazing close to the striking rock formations. Dartmoor is also home to an immense diversity of flora and fauna, so enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the moor’s isolated beauty.
Tavistock
Cross the ancient Clapper Bridge at Postbridge before heading to Tavistock, the historic market town and birthplace of Sir Francis Drake.

Arriving back in Exeter in the early afternoon gives you a chance to explore the city’s ancient riches at a leisurely pace. The city walls, the Norman cathedral, the Royal Albert Memorial, and the Quayside all await you.
Boscastle – Tintagel – Falmouth
Accommodations
Overnight in Falmouth
Boscastle Harbour
One of the last remaining unspoilt harbour villages in the British Isles, the medieval harbour and its charming fishing boats are a joy to see. Indulge in a cream tea, take a stroll out to the dramatic headland, or learn a spell or two in the Museum of Witchcraft.
Tintagel Castle
Travel to the village of Tintagel and the ruins of its headland Castle, whose romantic cliff top setting is purportedly the birthplace of King Arthur.

Head to Port Isaac where you can get your Doc Martin’s fix and fall in love with this picturesque fishing village. You then head south to the bustling port town of Falmouth for the next two nights.

Land's End
Visit Land’s End before following a landscape dotted with the relics of the Cornish tin mining heritage, and now a filming location for the Poldark series.

St Ives is the final stop of the day with its plethora of artists’ galleries in the maze of narrow, harbour-side streets.

5.00This was a truly magical tour, covering so much ground and so many spectacular sites. It’s a long distance from London to Devon, then on to Cornwall, but the tour is cleverly broken up into reasonably-sized segments with scenic and historic stops that also serve as rest stops. Every stop -- Winchester, Stonehenge, Exeter, Dartmoor, and the many scenic stops along the Cornish coastline -- had something valuable and fun to see or do, plenty of options for refreshments, and toilet facilities. Carl, our tour guide, was outstanding. His commentary en route was clear, extensive, and informative, and he often pointed to a map of the region posted above the windshield so he could show us the general area we’d be covering that day. Having a small group was terrific. We had really good rapport with each other and with Carl. Even if you’re not into Doc Martin or Poldark on BBC/PBS, you’ll be delighted with everything to see on this trip. But if you are, well – icing on the cake!
Thank you John

5.00Our guide Jack from the Viator/ Rabbies tour was fabulous. He was both witty and informative about all the sites we were seeing and brought everything to life. The only suggestion I would have is better instructions how to find the first meeting place.
