Practical notes
- Cornish roads are narrow and slow, particularly in summer. Build in generous driving times.
- Two-night stays at each base reduce constant packing and improve the overall experience.
- Accommodation availability in Cornwall and the New Forest can be limited in peak season. Early planning is essential.
- St Michael's Mount has tide-dependent causeway access. Check times before scheduling.
- This programme works across different accommodation levels, from B&B to higher-end hotel options.
