Overview

Leave the car behind and come explore some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK with Chris in his vintage taxi.
It's not just pretty; it's an incredibly old landscape, and its history goes back beyond the dawn of civilization.
We don't just concentrate on ancient history; we discover what part of North Cornwall plays in today's modern world and in the security of the nation.
We visit forgotten castles; you'll hear of legends and stories. You'll marvel at awe-inspiring scenery, and you'll learn to dowse.
This tour is not suitable for guests arriving by cruise ship into Falmouth. Please search for my West Cornwall Tour, "Soldiers, miners and fairies".

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
