3-Day Devon and Cornwall Small-Group Tour: In Search of King Arthur

Description

Relive King Arthur's reign in Devon and Cornwall with a three-day tour so magical even Merlin would be proud. On this small-group tour from London, you’ll venture deep into England’s beautiful West Country, exploring the back roads of Devon and Cornwall. Step inside centuries-old settings of romance, intrigue and honor, and see legends come alive. With a maximum group size of 11 and a professional guide, this tour is sure to be a memorable and personal experience.

Departing from central London, your small-group tour will set off in the direction of England’s West Country -- more specifically the peaceful south west counties of Somerset, Devon and Cornwall that are home to great prehistoric ruins, picturesque fishing villages and quaint seaside resorts. You'll see the apple orchards of Somerset, the patchwork countryside of Devon, awe-inspiring moorlands, the Jurassic Coast (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and the famed sandy beaches of the southwest shore.

Tradition and culture in this part of the country have remained true to the English spirit, and you feel like you’ve traveled back to a slower-paced age. It's a land of Celtic legend and King Arthur, the romantic leader whose footsteps you’ll follow as you learn about his life from your local expert guide. King Arthur, famous for his Round Table created to enforce the concept of equality among his knights, is the key figure of the Arthurian legend that spawned many stories, folklore and films about honor and loyalty in 6th-century Britain.
