Come to the outstandingly beautiful and unspoilt archipelago lying just of the Cornish coast, and feel as though you have stepped into another world – a calmer, simpler world where you can enjoy the warm hospitality of the team at The Atlantic Inn, the fantastic walks, a climate that attracts rare birds, dolphins and seals, and all year round exotic plants and flowers thrive.
Day 1 TUESDAY After an early start, we drive towards the West Country, making a suitable stop for lunch. We arrive at Land’s End/Newquay for an afternoon flight to St Mary’s. You will be transferred to the hotel where you will receive a warm reception. St Mary’s is the largest of the isles and Hugh Town is the central hub with its cluster of shops, churches, post office, cafés, galleries, restaurants and pubs. It also has three lovely beaches in very close proximity.
Day 2-6 WEDNESDAY - SUNDAY During your stay you enjoy: • Walking tour of St Mary’s – A full-day guided walking tour of St Mary’s, taking in Hugh Town, Harry’s Wall, Lower Moors and the Old Town. • Tresco – A crossing to the second largest island, Tresco, for a visit to the world famous Tresco Abbey Gardens. Established in the ruins of a Benedictine priory, they contain plants found nowhere else in Britain. • St Martin’s or St Agnes – A full day trip to the island of St Martin’s with its beautiful beaches and scenery OR St Agnes, which is only a mile wide. You then continue to the outer isles to view colonies of wild seals and birdlife.
Day 7 MONDAY After breakfast we will be transferred to the airport for the short flight to Land’s End/Newquay. A Woods coach will be waiting to return you to the local area and home.
Centrally located in Hugh Town on St Mary’s, the Atlantic Inn is on the water’s edge, overlooking the harbour. It is a delightful, rambling old inn, with plenty of character. All rooms have TV and hospitality tray. The hotel does not have a lift and there is only one ground floor room. The restaurant overlooks the waterfront and there is WiFi.
