Your day, in words
46 miles of Cornwall, 8h 4m door to door, one car and one driver for £200. Here is how it unfolds.
Truro to Eden Project19 miles · about 57 min
Your driver collects you from Truro at a time you agree the day before. First up, a real journey across the county to Eden Project.
Giant geodesic biomes rise out of a former china clay pit, housing rainforest and Mediterranean planting under one roof. An ambitious environmental attraction that easily fills half a day.
You have about 3 hours here, and the car waits for you.
Driver's tip: Outdoor gardens and sculpture trail. Planting and artwork fill the pit outside the biomes, easily worth a couple of hours on its own.
Eden Project to Lost Gardens of Heligan11 miles · about 47 min
Next, Lost Gardens of Heligan: one of the longer legs of the day from Eden Project.
A vast Victorian garden estate rescued from decades of overgrowth in the 1990s, now restored to its productive walled gardens, jungle valley, and famous mud-and-shell figures. One of the largest garden restoration projects in Europe.
You have about 2h 30m here, and the car waits for you.
Driver's tip: The Jungle valley walk. A path drops into a subtropical valley of tree ferns and bamboo, a world away from the formal gardens above.
Lost Gardens of Heligan back to Truro17 miles · about 50 min
The day ends the way it began: door to door. About 50 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.
