A week around the far south-west of England, from the great harbour of Falmouth to the sub-tropical Isles of Scilly, a coast of hidden creeks and turquoise water. This is a gentler, sun-warmed corner of Britain, artists’ towns and fairytale castles, oyster estuaries and white-sand islands. Expect Frenchman’s Creek and St Michael’s Mount, the gardens of Tresco and the light of St Ives, a surprisingly idyllic voyage.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
