Bespoke Cruise Ship Tours a Little Inspiration… Bespoke Cruise Ship Tours a little inspiration… Full Day Tours (7 to 8 hours) St Michaels Mount, Minack Theatre & St Ives This is a hugely popular tour which takes in Cornwalls most unique landmarks. We stop in Marazion for you to see and photograph St Michaels Mount before moving on to the spectacular Minack Theatre: one of Cornwalls most breathtaking venues. You then have the chance to relax aboard our coach as we travel along spectacular coastal roads to St Ives; an artists paradise and quintessential Cornish fishing harbour filled with fascinating shops and galleries including the world renowned Tate Gallery. We can help you decide on the best place to lunch! We then head back to Falmouth, ensuring you’re back in time for your dinner or departure. Porthleven, St Michaels Mount, Mousehole & Trengwainton Gardens This tour takes in some of Cornwalls best bits you might otherwise miss but are just as beautiful. Our first stop is Porthleven: a beautiful harbour village with quirky shops and inns: ideal for a morning tea or coffee. We then continue to head west, stopping briefly in Marzion for views of the iconic St Michaels Mount before following the seafront road through Penzance and Newlyn to Mousehole: a true working Cornish fishing village famed for it’s Christmas lights, but equally charming all year round. Once you’ve had time to explore, we continue on to Trengwainton Gardens where you can explore the walled gardens and luscious grounds, as well as a superb lunch in the restaurant. Eden Project Dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World by some, the Eden Project is a dramatic global garden housed in tropical biomes that nestle in a crater the size of 30 football pitches. Experience the sights, smells and scale of the rainforests in the Rainforest Biome - the world's largest greenhouse - and discover the tropical plants that are used to produce everyday products. You have all the facilities you will need to hand, with on-site eateries and shops, which is just as well because you’ll easily spend all day here. We then head back to Falmouth, ensuring you’re back in time for your dinner or departure. Padstow and Tintagel This tour takes you to the dramatic coast of North Cornwall. Our first stop is Padstow: one of Cornwall’s idyllic harbour towns. Fascinating shops surround the town centre harbour will excite the retail explorer in you – and why not try a proper Cornish Pasty on the harbourside? Or, if you’d rather eat inside, you’re sure to find a restaurant or café which caters to your tastes. We then head for Tintagel – a town steeped in mystery and legend. Visit King Arthurs Castle and admire the dramatic cliffs around you and be sure to visit the old Post Office building – now preserved by the National Trust. We then head back to Falmouth, ensuring you’re back in time for your dinner or departure. Half Day Tours (around 4 hours) Trebah Gardens This tour takes you to the stunning Trebah Gardens – a garden which stretches through the valley down to a private beach. There’s lots of exploring to be done – paths wind through the luscious, well-stocked gardens with views across the valley and down to the beach. You’ll easily spend a few hours here before we head back to Falmouth. Why not ask your driver to drop you in Falmouth town centre and explore the town as you wander back to the ship? St Mawes & Truro This tour takes you to the beautiful Roseland peninsula and the fishing village of St Mawes; home to St Mawes castle, sister to Falmouth’s Pendennis Castle. From the castle there are views across to Falmouth. If you’re a small group, our smaller vehicles can take you across the King Harry Ferry to Cornwall’s Cathedral City of Truro. The King Harry Ferry is a chain ferry with deep, glazed sides affording you a view down the River Fal as you cross. In Truro you may choose to indulge in a little retail therapy or alternatively explore the Cathedral and it’s fascinating history. We then travel back to Falmouth and if time allows we can take you along the scenic sea front before arriving at the docks to meet your ship. So much to see… …so little time?

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

  • The Early Neolithic Tor Enclosures of Southwest Britain
    The Early Neolithic Tor Enclosures of Southwest Britain By Simon R.

The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Along with causewayed enclosures, the tor enclosures of Cornwall and Devon represent the earliest enclosure of large open spaces in Britain and are the earliest form of surviving non-funerary monument. Their importance is at least as great as that of causewayed enclosures, and it might be argued that their proposed associations with settlement, farming, industry, trade and warfare indicate that they could reveal more about the Early Neolithic than many causewayed enclosure sites. Yet, despite being recognised as Neolithic in date as early as the 1920s, they have been subject to a disproportionately small amount of work. Indeed, the southwest, Cornwall especially, is almost treated like another country by many of those studying the Early Neolithic of southern Britain. When mentioned, this region is more likely to be included in studies of Ireland and the Irish Sea zone than studies concerning England.
