Picturesque Poldark

A Rugged, Inspirational Coastal Landscape Follow in Winston Graham's footsteps, and experience the St. Agnes landscape that inspired his 13 Poldark novels. A brooding drama set in 18th-century Cornwall, Poldark is a popular television series based on the novels by Winston Graham. You will have the opportunity to visit the places that inspired the author, and locations where the Poldark TV series was filmed. Much of the action in Poldark takes place against the backdrop of Cornwall’s breathtaking and rocky coastline. You will visit Portreath, which was once a busy port, importing coal and exporting copper. Then, you will travel to St. Agnes Beacon, where Ross Poldark famously galloped across the cliffs on his horse, and to St. Agnes Head, which was used to represent Nampara Valley—part of the Poldark family estate. You will then continue on to visit the seaside town of Perranporth, where author Winston Graham lived and the Poldark story began. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
