Cornwall – As a holiday destination or gap year location!

Cornwall has won the ‘Favourite UK Holiday Destination’ two years running and looking at the stunning pictures of the sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and spectacular sunsets, it’s easy to see why.

There is something for everyone in this beautiful setting, whether your passion is food and drink, sports or magnificent scenery that all but begs to be painted. In fact, Cornwall has more working artists than anywhere else in the country excluding London – and the air is fresher too.
Explore in style with the Classic Car Break. Choose from Aston Martin, MG, Jaguar, Austin Healy and Triumph sports cars and see why the awards have come rolling in!

The internationally reknowned Eden Project is a wonderful place to spend a day and has been dubbed the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’ by some. It provides a captivating insight to how mankind has come to depend on plant life and allows you to experience the sights and scents of a tropical rainforest, thanks to the Humid Tropics Biome – The largest greenhouse in the world. Facilities include restaurants and cafes, gift shops and are fully accessible to wheelchairs and buggies.

Accomodation is as varied as the activities that Cornwall offers. Choose from hotels, B&B and caravan and camping to something different such as farm holidays and surf lodges (ideal for gap year travellers!)

Activity holidays are some of the most popular in Cornwall. From cycling through quiet country lanes to horse riding through the established woodland. Or even camel riding!

With direct travel insurance, your piece of mind won’t break the bank. Whether the kids want to pretend they’re baboons on the many adventure playgrounds, or you fancy having a go at some wet and wild watersports, or you simply want to make sure you’re fully covered when making that gap year count, there is an option for you. From single trip to backpacker and annual insurance, and even medical advice you can enjoy your holiday knowing that every event is catered for.
