Eden Project & Cornwall
About this tour
The county of Cornwall located on the southwestern tip of England. The peninsula is often dubbed as the Cornish Riviera due to its rugged coastline, wild moorlands, golden beaches, and beautiful weather. Cornwall has a wealth of activities, excursions, and history to discover.
Cornwall can complement any curriculum studies from discovering the magical historic legend of King Arthur at Tintagel Castle, walking the tidal pathway to St Michael’s Mount, watching a play in the open air Minack Theatre to descending into the Poldark Tin Mine.
Of course, no visit would be complete without a trip to the world-famous Eden Project where you can take in an educational workshop and experience the many different climate biomes and gardens.
If your trip is curriculum-based, one of our tour managers will be happy to discuss your learning objectives with you. We want your group to achieve the best educational benefits from the tour, no matter how many subjects or topics you wish to cover and of course including the fun element.
