Your day, in words
46 miles of Cornwall, 8h 32m door to door, one car and one driver for £200. Here is how it unfolds.
Falmouth to Trebah Garden7 miles · about 33 min
Your driver collects you from Falmouth at a time you agree the day before. First up, a proper leg to Trebah Garden.
A subtropical ravine garden tumbling down to a private beach on the Helford River, planted with towering tree ferns and Himalayan rhododendrons. The path winds steeply from the visitor centre right down to the water.
You have about 2 hours here, and the car waits for you.
Driver's tip: Descent to the private beach. The path drops steeply through towering tree ferns and rhododendrons all the way down to the water.
Trebah Garden to Glendurgan Garden3 miles · about 26 min
Next, Glendurgan Garden: a good stretch of Cornish road from Trebah Garden.
A National Trust garden in a wooded valley next to Trebah, known for its 19th-century laurel maze and a run of exotic planting down to Durgan beach. A gentler, more formal contrast to its neighbour.
You have about 1h 30m here, and the car waits for you.
Driver's tip: Walk down to Durgan beach. A path winds through exotic planting down to a small beach on the Helford River.
Glendurgan Garden to Kynance Cove9 miles · about 31 min
Next, Kynance Cove: a good stretch of Cornish road from Glendurgan Garden.
A cove of serpentine rock stacks and pale sand on the Lizard peninsula, with turquoise water at low tide. The walk down from the National Trust car park is steep but the view opening up below is worth it.
You have about 1h 30m here, and the car waits for you.
Driver's tip: Swim among the serpentine stacks. At low tide the turquoise water and rock stacks make this one of the best swimming spots on the Lizard.
Kynance Cove to Lizard Point6 miles · about 22 min
Next, Lizard Point: an easy drive from Kynance Cove.
The southern tip of the Lizard peninsula, where cliffs of dark serpentine rock meet open sea and a working lighthouse still guides shipping past the point. Coastal paths in both directions offer some of Cornwall's best clifftop walking.
You have about 45 minutes here, and the car waits for you.
Driver's tip: Cafe at the point. A small cafe right at the tip does a good cream tea with a proper sea view.
Lizard Point back to Falmouth20 miles · about 55 min
The day ends the way it began: door to door. About 55 minutes back, no parking, no navigating.
Timings are honest estimates, not a timetable. Linger where you are happy; your driver adjusts the day around you.
