Scenic Cornish Drive

Picturesque Countryside, Mount’s Bay and Views of St. Michael’s Mount Enjoy a delightful scenic journey through the highlights of Cornwall’s rugged landscape. Travel by motor coach through the Cornish countryside and charming towns before arriving at the ancient market town of Marazion, set upon the picturesque shores of Mount’s Bay. From the mainland, you will have an opportunity to view the medieval castle perched atop craggy St. Michael’s Mount, an unbridged tidal island. Located a half-mile out in the bay, the island is separated from the mainland by a manmade causeway covered by the ocean during high tide. After time to photograph this jewel of Cornwall, continue your scenic coastal tour of North Cornwall while learning about its mining heritage. Pass by idyllic country lanes, quiet hamlets and granite cottages that harken back to the age of Poldark and tin mining. You will also see looming Carn Brea hill and its stark Bassett Monument as you make your way back to your ship. Modifications based on current health and safety protocols may be applied to this shore excursion. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
